## Prompt

```text
Using the provided reference image as the base portrait, transform the subject into a polished cinematic portrait of {target_actor}. Keep the same chest-up studio composition, direct eye contact, white sweatshirt, moody blue background, and warm orange side/rim lighting. Change the facial identity, haircut, and facial hair to match the target actor: shorter styled hair, trimmed goatee/mustache, sharper features, and a more refined naturally realistic look. Maintain realistic skin texture, professional portrait lighting, shallow depth of field, and high-end editorial finish. Do not add text, props, logos, or extra people.
```

## Variables

Replace each `{variable}` before you paste the prompt.

| Variable | Label | Example |
|---|---|---|
| `{target_actor}` | target actor | Robert Downey Jr. |
