About this prompt

A quick overview of what this prompt is designed to create.

A sleek, futuristic editorial portrait prompt with dramatic teal-amber-violet tri-tone lighting and a soft neon studio gradient — face preserved exactly from your reference photo.

Prompt

Prompt
Create a hyper-realistic, ultra-high-resolution cinematic portrait of the person in the provided reference image. The face and identity must match exactly (STRICT) – identical facial structure, bone anatomy, jawline definition, eye shape, nose proportions, lips, skin tone, grooming details, and natural micro-details. Maintain precise likeness accuracy.

Composition & Framing: Three-quarter portrait shot captured from a slightly elevated camera angle, with the camera positioned just above eye level and angled downward. The subject is looking directly toward the camera with a calm, confident expression, head slightly tilted to the right.

Frame vertically in a 2:3 aspect ratio. Use cinematic composition with the subject placed along the right vertical rule-of-thirds line, leaving negative space on the opposite side for visual balance.

Subject Details: Young man with a sharp, well-defined jawline and subtle dark stubble. Deep brown eyes, thick dark wavy hair styled in a casual textured sweep, slightly windswept for a natural editorial look.

Thin metallic rectangular glasses in a brushed silver tone. The lenses capture faint reflections of soft ambient lighting, creating a subtle modern tech aesthetic.

Wardrobe: Minimalist charcoal gray hoodie or crewneck sweatshirt, matte fabric with visible ribbed collar and soft folds. Clean, understated, contemporary style.

Lighting (Cinematic Tri-Tone Setup)

Use stylized cinematic lighting with three color layers:

Primary Key Light: Soft electric teal light from the front-right, sculpting facial contours and highlighting cheekbones, nose bridge, and forehead.

Secondary Rim Light: Subtle warm amber light from behind the subject’s left side, creating a glowing edge along the hairline and shoulders.

Ambient Fill: Very soft deep violet light filling shadows to preserve skin texture and prevent harsh darkness.

Lighting should feel dramatic yet polished, with high dynamic range and natural skin tone preservation.

Focus & Depth of Field: Extremely shallow depth of field. The eyes and glasses frame are in razor-sharp focus, while hair edges, ears, and clothing gradually soften into creamy cinematic bokeh.

Skin texture should remain ultra-detailed with visible pores, subtle facial hair, and realistic micro-contrast.

Background: Background is a soft, atmospheric gradient blending midnight blue, violet, and subtle teal hues. Smooth, heavily blurred with faint cinematic light bloom to create a modern neon-studio environment.

No objects or distractions — only abstract color depth.

Mood & Atmosphere: Confident, modern, and cinematic with a sleek futuristic editorial vibe. The portrait should resemble a premium magazine cover or a character reveal from a high-budget sci-fi drama.

Ultra-detailed, 8K resolution, cinematic color grading, studio-quality lighting, hyper-realistic skin rendering, premium photography aesthetics.
