MASTER PROMPT: Cinematic Photorealism with Painterly Drift

I. FACE LOCK (ABSOLUTE PRIORITY — Non-Negotiable Fidelity):
The face must be a 1:1 exact photographic match to the provided reference, achieving face-swap level fidelity. This is not an artistic interpretation; it is a direct replication of the specified features.

  • Facial Structure: Oval-to-oblong face with a prominent chin.
  • Eyes: Dark brown, almond-shaped, under slightly heavy lids.
  • Brows: Full, dark, natural arch.
  • Nose: Straight bridge with a rounded tip.
  • Lips: Moderately full.
  • Jawline: Strong and sharply defined.
  • Hair: Thick, jet-black hair styled in a short, voluminous brush-up (short sides, longer textured top).
  • Skin Tone: Medium olive.
  • Age Appearance: Late-20s.
  • Condition: Completely clean-shaven; zero beard, zero stubble, perfectly smooth skin texture.
  • Rendering Quality: Photorealistic, razor-sharp focus, perfectly lit, always the sharpest point of the frame.

II. BODY & WARDROBE:

  • Physique: Athletic build, broad shoulders.
  • Attire: Real, modern, high-end clothing worn by real men. The specific outfit is: a perfectly tailored dark wool overcoat, a plain heavyweight t-shirt underneath, straight trousers, and leather boots. The styling must convey an effortless, expensive editorial aesthetic.

III. RENDER CONCEPT (The Aesthetic Blend):
The face must remain strictly photographic and hyper-detailed. All surrounding elements (body edges, fabric textures, ground, air, shadows) must incorporate an almost invisible, subtle 5–10% painterly drift. This drift manifests as:

  • Brushstroke grain subtly visible in deep shadows.
  • Slightly hand-drawn, organic edges on large elements like the coat.
  • Light sources that linger a half-second too long, creating a sense of authored, hyper-real atmosphere.
  • The overall effect must feel subtly strange and deeply real, avoiding any filter or named artistic style.

IV. LOCATIONS (Cinematic Realism):
Select and render one of the following five environments, shot with cinematic realism, not fantasy:

  1. Subterranean: Empty underground parking garage at 3 AM. Wet concrete surfaces. Single, harsh sodium-orange ceiling light directly above the subject. Subject stands centered, hands casually in coat pockets, staring directly into the lens.
  2. Urban Nocturne: Rooftop of a mid-rise city building during the deep blue hour. A softly blurred, real skyline in the distance. Subject sits on a raw concrete ledge edge, forearms resting on knees.
  3. Highway Transit: Deserted highway toll booth lane at dawn. Thick fog blankets the asphalt. The glow of a headlight illuminates the scene behind the subject as he walks toward the camera, coat moving with the motion.
  4. Brutalist Architecture: Old, stark brutalist stairwell. A single window casts a harsh bolt of daylight across the subject's chest. He leans against the railing, head slightly tilted, eyes locked intently on the viewer.
  5. Vast Space: Empty, drained, tiled Olympic swimming pool. The environment echoes with vast, empty space. Subject stands alone at the deep-end floor, looking up toward the stark overhead light.

V. CAMERA & LENS SPECIFICATIONS:
Employ shallow depth of field across all scenes.

  • Close Frames: 85mm portrait compression.
  • Wider Shots: 35mm perspective.
  • Focus Rule: The face must always be the tack-sharpest element in the frame.

VI. STRICT NEGATIVES (DO NOT INCLUDE):
NO facial hair of any kind. NO identity drift or distortion. NO fantasy or impossible environments. NO cartoon rendering or stylized illustration. NO generic "AI portrait" look. NO overly smoothed or plastic skin texture.

Original prompt (before our improvements)

FACE LOCK (highest priority — non-negotiable): The face must be a 1:1 exact match to the reference photos — treat it as a face-swap level of fidelity, NOT an artistic interpretation. Preserve precisely: oval-to-oblong face with prominent chin, dark brown almond-shaped eyes under slightly heavy lids, full dark natural-arched eyebrows, straight nose with rounded tip, moderately full lips, strong defined jawline, thick black hair styled in a short voluminous brush-up (short sides, longer textured top), medium olive skin, late-20s look. Render the face PHOTOREAL, razor-sharp, perfectly lit, always the sharpest point of the frame — but CLEAN-SHAVEN: zero beard, zero stubble, completely smooth skin. BODY & WARDROBE: athletic build, broad shoulders, real modern clothing worn by real men — perfectly tailored dark wool overcoat, plain heavyweight t-shirt, straight trousers, leather boots — styled like an editorial cover, effortless and expensive-looking. RENDER CONCEPT (the invention): The face stays fully photographic. Everything else — body edges, fabric, ground, air — carries an almost invisible 5–10% painterly drift: brushstroke grain in shadows, slightly hand-drawn edges on the coat, light that lingers a half-second too long. Subtle enough to feel real, strange enough to feel authored. No filter look, no named style. LOCATIONS (REAL places, shot like cinema — not fantasy): 1. Empty underground parking garage at 3 AM, wet concrete, single sodium-orange ceiling light directly above him — he stands centered, hands in coat pockets, staring into the lens. 2. Rooftop of a mid-rise city building at blue hour, real skyline soft in the distance, he sits on the raw concrete ledge edge, forearms on knees. 3. Deserted highway toll booth lane at dawn, fog on the asphalt, headlight glow behind him, mid-walk toward camera, coat moving. 4. Old brutalist stairwell with one window of hard daylight cutting across his chest, he leans on the railing, head slightly tilted, eyes locked on viewer. 5. Empty olympic swimming pool (drained, tiled, echoing), he stands alone at the deep-end floor looking up toward the light — small figure, vast real space. CAMERA: 85mm portrait compression for close frames, 35mm for wide; shallow depth of field; face always tack-sharp. STRICT NEGATIVES: NO facial hair of any kind, no identity drift, no fantasy/impossible environments, no cartoon rendering, no generic "AI portrait" look, no over-smoothed skin.
