Cinematic Burnt Orange Portrait

Use the uploaded user photo as the **ONLY source of identity and facial appearance** for the main subject. Preserve the user's exact, recognizable identity with maximum fidelity: facial structure and proportions, face shape, forehead, natural eyebrows, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, mouth structure, cheeks, cheekbones, jawline, chin, skin tone, natural skin texture, hairline, hair characteristics, facial hair if present, and all distinctive facial features. **Do not copy the identity or facial features of the reference subject. Do not beautify, redesign, slim, age, de-age, feminize, masculinize, or otherwise reinterpret the user's face. The user's identity must remain unmistakably their own.**
Recreate the reference image as closely as possible while using the uploaded user as the subject. The final image is a dramatic, cinematic vertical portrait of the person positioned centrally and facing almost directly toward the camera. Frame from approximately the upper torso/chest to slightly above the hair, with the head occupying the central upper portion of the frame and the shoulders extending toward both lower corners. The camera is positioned close to the subject at approximately eye level with a subtle low-angle impression, creating an intense, powerful editorial portrait. Use a natural portrait perspective equivalent to approximately a 50–70mm lens, with minimal distortion and a shallow-to-moderate depth of field.
Match the reference subject's **expression and emotional state**, not the expression from the uploaded user photo. Give the user's face the same serious, intense, calm, slightly mysterious expression seen in the reference: relaxed but firm lips, no smile, subtly controlled facial muscles, emotionally restrained presence, and a confident, contemplative mood. The eyes should be open and directed essentially straight toward the camera/viewer, with a steady, intense gaze. Reproduce the reference's eye openness, eyebrow positioning, mouth position, facial tension, head orientation, and overall facial behavior while retaining the user's own facial identity.
Match the reference head pose precisely: head held upright and centered with a very slight natural backward/upward orientation, chin subtly elevated, neck elongated, shoulders relaxed and squared toward the camera. The subject's body faces forward, with no visible hand gesture and no significant body rotation. Preserve the same centered symmetrical composition and strong vertical portrait presence.
Recreate the hairstyle according to the reference's visual styling while keeping the user's natural identity and recognizable hair characteristics: dark, voluminous, naturally tousled/wavy hair with irregular loose strands and a slightly messy editorial appearance, falling naturally around the forehead and sides of the face. Do not alter the user's identity to resemble the reference person.
Dress the subject in a simple **deep black or near-black collared shirt**, with the collar naturally open at the neck and the fabric blending into the dark lower portion of the frame. Keep the clothing understated and minimalist, with no visible logos, patterns, jewelry, or distracting accessories.
The background must reproduce the reference's minimalist **deep burnt-orange/rust-orange wall**, completely uncluttered and extending across the entire frame. Create a strong monochromatic orange cinematic atmosphere, with the background slightly darker toward some areas but maintaining the dominant warm burnt-orange tone.
Lighting is the defining feature: use a single dramatic warm orange/amber directional light coming strongly from the **left side of the image**, illuminating the left half of the subject's face and upper body while leaving the opposite side in deep, rich shadow. Reproduce the distinctive hard-edged window-blind/light-slat shadows visible across the lower-left background and subtly interacting with the subject's left shoulder/neck area. The illuminated skin should have rich amber-orange highlights and realistic dimensional texture, while the shadow side should remain very dark but retain subtle facial detail. Create pronounced chiaroscuro, high contrast, deep blacks, warm highlights, and cinematic tonal separation.
Maintain realistic skin texture beneath the orange lighting—visible pores and natural facial detail without artificial smoothing or plastic skin. Add subtle atmospheric grain and a refined editorial-film texture. Avoid excessive HDR, oversharpening, glossy skin, artificial beauty retouching, or overly clean digital rendering.
Composition should remain vertically oriented at **approximately 9:16**, with the subject centered and occupying most of the frame. Leave a moderate amount of negative space above the hair, while the lower body fades naturally into darkness. The image should feel intimate, dramatic, moody, mysterious, sophisticated, and cinematic, like a high-end fashion/editorial portrait photographed in controlled studio conditions.
**Identity priority:** uploaded user photo = WHO the person is. Reference image = HOW that person is posed, expressing emotion, looking, lit, dressed, framed, and presented. Never let the reference person's identity override the user's identity. Never transfer the reference person's facial structure or recognizable appearance onto the user. Produce a photorealistic final image that unmistakably depicts the uploaded user in the exact visual language and composition of the reference.
