Surrealist Retro Collage Portrait

# Hyperrealistic Editorial Collage Portrait — Identity-Locked Prompt

**PROMPT:**

Use the **uploaded photo of the person as the ONLY identity and facial reference**. Recreate the person’s **exact recognizable face and identity** from the uploaded image. Do **not** replace, redesign, beautify, stylize, or alter the facial identity. Preserve the exact **facial structure, face shape, forehead, hairline, eyebrows, eyes, eye shape, nose, nostrils, lips, mouth shape, jawline, cheekbones, ears, skin tone, natural asymmetry, age, and distinctive facial characteristics**. The final portrait must unmistakably look like the person in the uploaded photo.

Create a **high-end surrealist editorial fashion collage portrait**, closely matching the composition and visual language of the reference artwork. Show a **head-and-shoulders / upper-torso portrait in three-quarter view**, with the person looking toward the right side of the frame. Keep the face large and clearly visible, with a confident, neutral editorial expression.

Transform the portrait into a sophisticated **mixed-media graphic collage** while keeping the underlying facial identity completely recognizable. The upper portion of the head has **deep solid black hair**, with natural hair texture and the person’s original hairstyle adapted into the artwork without changing their identity.

Across the face, create bold **geometric collage elements**: a vivid **hot-pink horizontal band** passing directly across the eyes, while the eyes remain realistically recognizable and correctly positioned beneath/within the graphic treatment. Add layered pieces of **distressed sky-blue textured paper**, cream paper, and rough painterly textures around the forehead, cheek, jaw, and neck.

Integrate striking **retro geometric patterns** into the portrait: blue-and-black diagonal stripes, intricate blue geometric line patterns, bright **lime-green and blue zigzag patterns**, turquoise diagonal lines, red/orange woven textures, coral paper textures, and magenta/purple abstract patterns. The collage pieces should appear naturally layered over and around the portrait, creating a sophisticated **1980s/1990s experimental graphic-design and contemporary art-poster aesthetic**.

The face itself should retain a **realistic human portrait appearance**, with detailed natural skin texture and realistic facial anatomy, while selected areas transition into printed halftone textures, vintage screen-print dots, distressed ink, paper grain, and rough analog printing imperfections.

Use a **warm off-white / ivory textured paper background**, minimal and clean, with subtle aged-paper grain. Add realistic **cut-paper edges, overlapping layers, imperfect registration, screen-print texture, faded ink, subtle paper fibers, and handmade collage imperfections**.

Composition should feel like a **premium museum-quality editorial art print**, highly artistic but still unmistakably the same person from the uploaded photo. Strong graphic balance, sophisticated color blocking, tactile paper textures, vintage print aesthetics, modern fashion-editorial composition, high detail, sharp facial features, realistic eyes and skin, controlled contrast, professional art direction.

**CRITICAL IDENTITY LOCK:** The uploaded person's face is the priority. **Do not generate a generic person. Do not change the face. Do not alter facial proportions. Do not make the person younger or older. Do not change ethnicity or skin tone. Do not modify the eyes, nose, lips, jaw, cheekbones, ears, or distinctive features. Do not substitute another face. Preserve maximum facial likeness while applying the collage treatment around and partially across the face.**
