DARK SHADOW ENTITY — CINEMATIC PORTRAIT
STRICT FACE IDENTITY & EXPRESSION PRESERVATION — HIGHEST PRIORITY
Use my uploaded original photograph as the ONLY identity reference for me. Use the provided reference image only for the dark atmosphere, black shadow effect, glowing white eyes, dramatic lighting, composition, clothing style, and cinematic mood.
Create an ultra-realistic, dark, vertical 9:16 cinematic portrait inspired by the reference image.
1. FACE IDENTITY — ABSOLUTE PRIORITY
Preserve my original face and identity exactly as shown in my uploaded photograph. Keep my natural facial structure, forehead, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, jawline, cheeks, ears, skin tone, hairline, hairstyle, facial hair, facial proportions, and natural skin texture unchanged.
Do not regenerate, replace, reshape, beautify, smooth, or distort my face. Do not make me look like another person.
2. ORIGINAL FACIAL EXPRESSION — MUST NOT CHANGE
Preserve the exact facial expression from my original photograph. Keep the same mouth position, lip shape, eyelids, eyebrow position, eye direction, head angle, and natural expression.
Do not add a smile, smirk, angry expression, evil grin, or artificial emotion. Do not change my expression to match the character in the reference image.
The dark supernatural effect must be applied as a visual overlay without altering my underlying facial identity or expression.
3. DARK SHADOW EFFECT
Transform the visible face area into a mysterious, nearly black shadow silhouette while retaining the underlying facial structure and original proportions. Add subtle charcoal-black gradients and delicate silver-white rim lighting around the forehead, temples, cheeks, nose, jawline, and ears.
Create two intensely glowing white eyes with soft, bright circular light and subtle bloom, inspired by the reference image. Keep the eyes naturally aligned with my original eye positions. The glow should look supernatural without changing the underlying eye placement or facial proportions.
Keep the face mysterious, smooth-looking because of the shadow effect only, and almost completely black, with no visible artificial facial details.
4. CLOTHING & BODY
Dress me in a fitted black formal suit, a dark collared shirt, and a black tie. Add realistic fabric folds, fine silver-white highlights along the shoulders, lapels, collar, and sleeves.
Use a strong, broad-shouldered portrait composition with my upper body facing the camera. Maintain realistic body proportions and a natural head-to-body ratio.
5. LIGHTING & BACKGROUND
Create a nearly black, deep charcoal background with subtle smoky textures, scattered dust particles, faint floating debris, and atmospheric shadows.
Add dramatic silver-white rim lighting behind my head and shoulders. Use low-key chiaroscuro lighting, deep blacks, muted graphite tones, high contrast, and cinematic shadows. Keep the glowing eyes as the brightest elements.
6. COMPOSITION & QUALITY
Vertical 9:16 composition, centered upper-body portrait, slightly lowered head angle only if compatible with my original photograph, symmetrical visual balance, dark supernatural atmosphere, realistic suit textures, fine details, cinematic contrast, subtle film grain, premium dark-fantasy poster quality, ultra-detailed photorealistic finish.
7. STRICT NEGATIVE INSTRUCTIONS
No face replacement, no identity change, no expression change, no altered facial proportions, no artificial smile, no angry expression, no anime face, no cartoon style, no plastic skin, no beauty filter, no skin smoothing, no extra eyes, no asymmetrical glowing eyes, no distorted head, no deformed shoulders, no extra limbs, no text, no watermark.
FINAL PRIORITY: My original photograph must remain the source of my identity and expression. Recreate the reference image's dark shadow aesthetic, glowing white eyes, black formal suit, silver rim lighting, and smoky atmosphere without changing my real facial identity or original expression.
Insert discreet watermark in the lower right corner of the image, vertical text (rotated 90°), written "aipromptlabs.online", Calibri Light font, white color with low opacity (semi-transparent), medium size. Extreme sharpness on the face, fabric texture and typography of the letters. Shot on Canon EOS R5, 50mm f/2.8, studio light.
