Master Prompt Template
Ultra-realistic photorealistic studio portrait strictly based on the provided reference image. Use my uploaded face 1:1 preserve facial structure, proportions, age, skin texture and natural imperfections. No beautification, no facial reshaping Keep exactly the same outfit: {argument name="clothing" default="black minimalist coat with clean lines, dark inner layer"}-identical fabric, texture, fit and silhouette. Keep exactly the same hairstyle: short, neat haircut with the same length, density and contour. Keep exactly the same accessories: {argument name="accessories" default="round thin metal eyeglasses"}-identical shape, size and lens transparency. Keep exactly the same pose and camera angle: three-quarter portrait, head slightly tilted upward, chin raised, confident posture. Shoulders relaxed, body slightly turned. Keep exactly the same facial expression and мимика: calm, cold, confident masculine expression, lips relaxed, no smile, no softness. Replace the face with my face from the uploaded photo, seamlessly integrated into the lighting and angle. Perfect face-swap realism: correct perspective, accurate shadow placement, natural skin tone blending, zero artifacts. Keep exactly the same background: {argument name="background" default="solid deep red studio backdrop"}, smooth and uniform, no texture changes, no added objects, no vehicles. Preserve the original color grading exactly as in the reference: strong red background, dramatic warm side light with red highlights on the skin, deep shadows. High contrast, cinematic editorial color correction. No color shifts, no cooling or warming-match reference grading precisely. Lighting: studio directional lighting from the side, sculpting facial features. Sharp highlights, controlled shadows, high depth and clarity. Aesthetic: brutal, modern, minimal, non-pretty masculine look. Ultra-detailed skin texture with visible pores High-end DSLR quality, cinematic realism, editorial fashion portrait, high resolution. Negative prompt: change of outfit, different hairstyle, different pose, different camera angle, different background, color grading change, soft lighting, glamour look, smile, soft or feminine features, beauty filter, plastic skin, cartoon, illustration, CGI, blur, low resolution, bad anatomy, distorted proportions, face mismatch, 85mm telephoto lens compression with creamy background bokeh, captured on Sony A7R V paired with FE 85mm f/1.4 GM lens, Rembrandt 3-point studio lighting with 45° key light and soft fill bounce, authentic skin micro-textures, true-to-life surface physics, ultra-detailed editorial photography, Dutch tilt diagonal dynamic angle, captured on 24mm wide-angle perspective 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
