    Frayed Reality

    Use the uploaded photo as a strict identity reference.

    The subject’s facial structure, proportions, skin tone, eye shape, nose, jawline, lips, hairline, and hairstyle must remain exactly identical.

    This is one single continuous face (not two people, no duplication).
    ⚠️ Absolute constraint:

    The face must NOT change across sections. Only rendering style and emotion change.
    Main Concept
    Create a 4:5 ultra-realistic cinematic studio portrait with DSLR realism, 8K detail, natural skin texture, and shallow depth of field.

    Concept: public persona vs hidden emotion revealed through a torn paper strip.
    Composition (STRICT GEOMETRY)
    Vertical 4:5 portrait
    Subject perfectly centered
    Face straight, no tilt, direct eye contact
    Symmetrical alignment across the vertical axis
    Subject Framing (IMPORTANT)
    Head-and-shoulders portrait (tight crop)
    Top crop: slightly above head (minimal headroom)
    Bottom crop: mid-chest level (turtleneck fully visible)
    Subject occupies ~70–80% of frame height
    Very little empty space on sides (clean editorial framing)
    Background
    Dark cinematic seamless studio background
    Smooth gradient:
    Slight neutral gray behind the head (center)
    Fades to deep black toward edges and corners
    Subtle vignette effect
    No texture, no color cast, no patterns
    Torn Paper Layout (CRITICAL)
    Create ONE horizontal torn-paper strip across the eyes:

    Position: exactly across the eye region (mid-face only)
    Thickness: ~20–25% of face height
    Edges: rough, fibrous, uneven
    Right side: slightly rolled/curling paper edge (visible depth)
    Realistic paper thickness + soft shadow
    ⚠️ Must look like the top layer is torn and the inner layer revealed

    ⚠️ No duplication of face
    Base Layer (Full Image — Public Persona)
    Full color
    Warm, natural skin tones
    Visible red lipstick (clean, defined)
    Subtle, confident, closed-mouth smile
    Hair:

    Front-falling wavy hair
    Natural flow toward the shoulders
    Soft volume, defined strands, slight shine
    Outfit:

    Black turtleneck
    Soft visible fabric texture (subtle knit detail)
    Lighting:

    Soft cinematic studio lighting
    Gentle highlights + soft shadows
    Skin texture preserved (no smoothing)
    Inside Torn Paper (ONLY inside strip — Hidden Emotion)
    Pure black-and-white (strict monochrome)
    Same face, perfectly aligned
    Expression:

    Emotionally vulnerable, slightly tense
    Tear (MANDATORY — DO NOT MISS)
    Two clearly visible tear streams (one under each eye)
    Sharp, reflective, well-defined
    Catching light (specular highlights)
    Not faint, not blurred
    Lighting:

    Slightly higher contrast
    More shadow depth around the eyes
    Realism Enforcement
    Photorealistic DSLR output
    Visible pores and natural skin texture
    Hair strands are individually defined
    Tear reflections crisp and sharp
    Paper edges detailed with depth and shadow
    Hard Constraints
    One face only
    Perfect alignment across layers
    No facial distortion
    Tear must be clearly visible
    Hair is consistent across layers
    No stylization
    Negative Prompt
    No second subject

    No duplicated face

    No vertical split

    No misaligned layers

    No weak or missing tears

    No flat lighting

    No plastic skin

    No illustration/cartoon / 3D

    No blur on eyes or tears

    No lipstick missing

    No wrong crop or loose framing

  • The War Within

    The War Within

    Use the uploaded reference image strictly as the identity reference for the subject.
    Preserve the subject’s exact facial identity, bone structure, proportions, skin tone, hairline, beard pattern, eye shape, and overall likeness.

    Do not beautify, stylize, or modify the person’s identity.
    Composition
    Create a high-resolution surreal double-exposure portrait.
    The subject appears in a strict 90-degree side profile facing right.
    The pose must be true profile, meaning:

    only the right side of the face is visible
    no part of the left cheek, left shoulder, or left body is visible
    the nose, lips, beard, and forehead form a clean profile silhouette
    Frame the subject from chest up.
    Position the subject slightly left of center, leaving negative space in front of the face.
    Aspect ratio 4:5 or 2:3 vertical.
    Background should be a clean, soft off-white.
    Appearance
    Hair and beard must match the reference image naturally.
    The beard should show fine detail and realistic texture.
    Expression is calm, serious, and contemplative, with the eye looking forward.
    Clothing
    The subject wears:

    a black blazer
    a black turtleneck
    The blazer fabric should appear smooth, structured, and slightly glossy, with subtle reflections from studio lighting.
    The shoulder line should look sharp and tailored, giving a modern minimalist look.
    Double Exposure Effect
    The upper back portion of the subject’s head and hair transforms seamlessly into a cinematic internal scene.
    Inside the silhouette appears a deep perspective ruined city street.

    Internal Scene
    A single man in a suit walks away from the viewer toward the horizon.
    He is seen from behind, centered in the street.
    The street is surrounded by damaged multi-story buildings.
    Debris and rubble scatter across the ground.
    Small fires burn along the sides of the street, producing orange glowing flames.
    Horizon
    At the end of the street is a blinding golden light source, resembling a powerful sunset or distant explosion.
    Lighting
    External lighting
    Soft studio lighting from the front-right, highlighting:

    nose bridge
    cheekbone
    beard texture
    Internal lighting
    The sunset inside the head creates a warm rim glow around the hair and neck.
    Color Palette
    Exterior portrait:
    cool neutral tones

    soft off-white background

    natural skin tones
    Internal scene:
    warm cinematic tones

    orange flames

    golden sunlight

    deep shadows
    Rendering Quality
    photorealistic

    ultra detailed

    cinematic lighting

    high dynamic range

    shallow depth of field

    sharp textures

  • Beyond the Screen

    Beyond the Screen

    **"A 4K photorealistic surreal advertising composite, 4:5 aspect ratio. Wide-angle perspective (24mm feel).
    THE SCENE:** A perfectly centered, front-facing iPhone 16 Pro stands on a smooth, vibrant orange radial gradient studio background with a subtle grounding drop shadow.
    THE BREAKOUT ACTION: Based strictly on the reference image's identity, a confident man wearing blue aviator sunglasses, a gray hoodie, and blue jeans is physically emerging from the screen. His head, right shoulder, and a strongly foreshortened right hand extend powerfully toward the viewer, breaking the phone's frame. His body remains inside the screen against a heavily blurred cinematic night city bokeh.
    CRITICAL UI LAYERING: Inside the screen, a realistic green iOS message notification banner reading "Hello – Prompt Plum" is positioned across his torso. Crucially, this banner appears behind his emerging right hand but in front of his chest.
    LIGHTING: High-end professional studio lighting from the front-left, creating realistic highlights and shadows on the emerging subject and the phone."
