Red Grid Protocol

Use the uploaded reference image as the absolute and locked facial identity source. STRICT FACE MATCH — CRITICAL: The subject’s face must match the reference image 100% exactly. Do not alter facial structure, proportions, skin tone, jawline, nose, lips, eyes, or expression. No face beautification, no face swapping, no stylization. Create a hyper-realistic, cinematic studio portrait of a young man captured in a vertical 4:5 aspect ratio. The framing is a tight chest-up portrait, centered and eye-level. He has natural, styled dark hair, and wears thin rectangular metal-frame glasses. His expression is serious, intense, and focused, looking directly into the camera lens. He is dressed in a plain black crew-neck t-shirt with no text or logos. Lighting: Dramatic, moody cinematic lighting with strong contrast. A soft key light defines facial structure while deep shadows sculpt the face. A distinct crimson red rim light outlines the side of the face and hair, creating a sharp cinematic edge. Subtle atmospheric haze enhances light separation. Background: Dark futuristic cyberpunk-style environment, predominantly black, featuring faint glowing red geometric outlines, subtle warning triangles, abstract tech-interface graphics, and minimal HUD-style elements. The background remains soft-focused to maintain subject dominance. Foreground Effects: Out-of-focus red laser beams or neon light streaks cut diagonally across the frame, adding depth, motion, and cinematic tension without obscuring the face. Color & Style: High-contrast palette dominated by deep blacks and intense crimson reds, clean highlights, controlled shadows, premium cinematic color grading. Quality: Ultra-detailed 8K photorealistic texture, sharp skin detail, realistic fabric texture, professional studio photography look. Negative Prompts: face swap, altered face, beautified or stylized face, cartoon, anime, CGI, 3D render, plastic or waxy skin, over-smooth skin, distorted or asymmetrical face, wrong jawline or beard, changed skin tone, age or gender change, extra or missing facial features, double face, blurred face, over-retouching, incorrect or warped glasses.
