## Prompt

```text
Create an ultra-realistic fine art portrait using {face_reference} as the exact identity. Preserve my facial structure, skin tone, eye shape, nose, lips, jawline, hairstyle, and all unique facial features with complete accuracy. Do not beautify, alter, or change my identity.

Compose the portrait as an extreme close-up where only half of my face is visible, emerging dramatically from deep black shadows. One eye should be fully illuminated and razor sharp, while the other half remains hidden in darkness. Use cinematic low-key lighting with a {lighting_color} softly washing across my cheek, nose, and lips, creating rich contrast against the black background.

Enhance every skin pore and natural texture with hyper-realistic detail. Add subtle glossy lips, crisp eyelashes, realistic catchlights in the eye, and smooth transitions between light and shadow. The mood should feel mysterious, elegant, luxurious, and emotionally powerful, with a timeless editorial fashion aesthetic.

Background should be completely black with no distractions. High dynamic range, dramatic contrast, ultra-photorealistic, fine art photography, luxury beauty campaign style, {lens}, f/1.8, shallow depth of field, studio-quality lighting, 8K resolution, flawless detail, premium color grading, museum-quality realism.
