Master Prompt Template
“Using the ATTACHED REFERENCE IMAGE as the identity source, an ultra-detailed Baroque-style portrait that preserves the subject’s exact facial identity, bone structure, proportions, and skin texture with absolute fidelity. The subject is positioned in a classical aristocratic portrait composition, facing slightly off-center with a calm yet intense expression, evoking psychological depth and authority. Lighting: dramatic chiaroscuro with strong directional key light from one side, deep shadow falloff, and subtle Rembrandt triangle lighting on the face. Background is dark, rich, and painterly, with soft gradients and minimal distractions. Wardrobe: opulent 17th-century aristocratic attire with luxurious fabrics such as velvet, silk, and brocade, featuring intricate embroidery, lace details, and gold accents. Materials must show realistic texture, weight, and light interaction. Rendering style: oil painting realism with visible brushwork, soft blending, micro-texture, and subtle canvas grain. Inspired by classical Baroque masters Rembrandt. Camera & optics: medium close-up portrait, 50mm lens feel, shallow depth of field (f/1.8), sharp focus on eyes, smooth falloff. Color grading: warm golden tones, deep shadows, rich contrast, cinematic dynamic range. Focus on depth, realism, material fidelity, and emotional intensity. Ultra-high detail, museum-grade finish, rich painterly realism.”, Extreme macro close-up focusing on intricate micro-textures, captured on Hasselblad X2D 100C with 80mm f/2.8 medium format lens, Soft overcast diffused daylight through a north-facing studio window, authentic skin micro-textures, true-to-life surface physics, ultra-detailed editorial photography, Straight-on symmetrical frontal angle, captured on 50mm natural focal length lens, Subtle high-key studio softbox with delicate catchlights in eyes, natural surface physics, 8K ultra-detailed editorial photography --ar 9:16 --v 6.1 --style raw

- **Framing & Shot Type**: Tight headshot portrait (Straight-on symmetrical frontal angle)
- **Optics & Focal Intent**: 50mm natural focal length lens at f/2.8 balanced subject sharpness with soft background bokeh
- **Lighting Atmosphere**: Subtle high-key studio softbox with delicate catchlights in eyes
- **Color Grading**: Golden-hour amber and cyan complementary color harmony
- **Model Constraints**: Preserves natural skin texture; avoids oversaturated smoothing.
💡 **How To Customize**: Replace `{SUBJECT}` with your exact character or scene, or switch the Aspect Ratio to `9:16` for mobile reels and wallpaper formats.
