    Obsidian & Rust

    Use the uploaded image as the primary facial reference. Maintain strong resemblance in facial structure, proportions, and key features while keeping a natural and realistic appearance.

    Create a high-end fashion editorial studio portrait of a person in a vertical 4:5 aspect ratio.

    COMPOSITION & POSE
    Medium portrait framing (mid-thigh to slightly above head).
    Subject is positioned centrally, leaning naturally against a solid wall (back lightly touching the wall).
    Body facing forward with a slight natural shift in weight.
    Both hands placed casually inside trouser pockets.
    Posture relaxed, confident, and effortless — not stiff.

    EXPRESSION & HAIR
    Calm, confident expression with direct eye contact to viewers.
    Natural length silky hair with soft volume and realistic fall.

    WARDROBE

    Structured blazer with sharp lapels, worn open.
    Crisp white formal shirt, fully buttoned, clean structure with slight natural folds.
    Slim black tie featuring very subtle diagonal micro-texture / pinstripe pattern (not flat black — must show texture under light).
    High-waisted black trousers with pleats and structured waistband.

    BACKGROUND & COLOR
    Solid orange-red wall background (not pure red — slightly warm tone).
    Subject is physically interacting with the wall (not floating).
    Clean, minimal, no texture or distractions.

    LIGHTING
    High-end editorial lighting setup.
    Strong directional key light from front-right.
    Creates:
    Bright, clean illumination on face and white shirt
    Soft highlights on hair and suit texture
    Sharp, defined shadow cast on the wall (left side)
    Light should enhance contrast between subject and background.

    STYLE & RENDERING
    Ultra-realistic, luxury fashion editorial photography style.
    Sharp details — visible fabric texture, hair strands, skin realism.
    Balanced contrast, clean tonal separation.
    Professional studio quality, 8K detail.
    No over-smoothing, no artificial glow.

    IMPORTANT RULES
    No extra props, no accessories added.
    No pose change.
    No stylization beyond realistic editorial photography.

  • Sartorial Earth Tones

    Sartorial Earth Tones

    Use the uploaded image as the ONLY facial and identity reference. Preserve exact facial structure, proportions, skin tone, hairstyle, and identity. Do not beautify or alter any facial features. Maintain natural skin texture, pores, and subtle asymmetry.
    Create a full-body, high-end studio fashion portrait of a confident man. The subject stands in a relaxed yet dominant pose: body angled slightly (3/4), face looking directly at the camera, weight shifted onto one leg. One hand is placed inside the trouser pocket, while the other hand naturally adjusts the blazer near the midsection. Posture is upright and structured. Expression is calm, confident, and authoritative (no smile).
    Outfit: a perfectly tailored slim-fit suit in muted mocha/brown tone (not overly rich or saturated), with a clean, structured silhouette and no wrinkles. White dress shirt with a stiff collar, dark brown matte tie, black polished leather dress shoes, and a minimal wristwatch.
    Lighting (physically accurate): a single soft spotlight coming from slightly above and from one side (left-biased), creating natural top-down directional light. The light first shapes the face and suit, then softly spills onto the background, forming a subtle, diffused halo behind the subject. Eedges should be soft, uneven, and naturally faded. Very gentle rim separation on shoulders. Shadows are soft and realistic.
    Color tone: low brightness, deep cinematic brown palette. Slight warm undertones but NOT overly saturated. Maintain realistic, controlled tones—avoid richness, keep it grounded and premium.
    Background: seamless dark brown studio backdrop, smooth and clean. Illumination only from light spill—no textures, no patterns.
    Composition: vertical frame (3:4 or 4:5), full-body visible with breathing space. Camera at mid-body height for natural perspective. Subject sharp, background softly blended.
    Style: ultra-realistic, high-end editorial photography. Strong depth, clean contrast, no CGI or artificial look.
    Negative constraints: no over-saturation, no bright tones, no artificial glow, no perfect halo circle, no incorrect lighting direction, no soft tailoring, no pose distortion, no background elements, no facial changes.

  • Obsidian & Smoke

    Obsidian & Smoke

    Core Subject & Identity:

    "A high-fashion, ultra-photorealistic studio portrait of a handsome man. Use the provided image as a strict reference to preserve the exact facial structure, skin tone, and hairstyle. He has a very confident, calm expression with his head tilted upward and to the right, eyes looking off-camera, relaxed gaze."
    Pose & Framing (Waist-Up):

    "Medium waist-up shot. The subject is standing with an upright, confident posture in a three-quarter pose, turned slightly toward the viewer's right. Both hands are casually tucked into his trouser pockets, causing the suit jacket to pull back slightly. Elegant and sharp framing with an 85mm lens aesthetic."
    Wardrobe & Accessories:

    "Wearing a premium, tailored, deep black suit jacket over an ultra-smooth, perfectly pressed, and completely wrinkle-free crisp white dress shirt. The shirt fabric should look flawless with high-thread-count texture and zero visible creases or folds, even where it meets the trousers. The shirt is worn with an open collar (top button undone) and no tie. Matching slim-fit black trousers with a subtle black leather belt. He is wearing silver-framed aviator sunglasses with rectangular lenses that show clear, bright square softbox reflections."
    Lighting & Atmosphere:

    "Professional two-light studio setup. Main Key Light: Positioned on the right side, casting soft, neutral white light on the face, jawline, and shirt. Rim Light: A secondary light from the back-left, creating a glowing outline on the hair and left shoulder, and making the volumetric smoke behind him glow softly. The background is dark charcoal with dense, cinematic smoke drifting primarily on the left side."

    "8K resolution, HDR rendering, highly detailed fabric textures, natural skin pores, and sharp focus on the subject with a shallow depth of field (blurred background). Neutral to slightly warm cinematic color grading with deep, clean blacks. No blue or cool tones."

  • Old-school Charm

    Old-school Charm

    Create a 4:5 aspect ratio, high-resolution, hyper-realistic studio portrait of a stylish man with a sophisticated, confident gentleman aesthetic. Use the provided reference image for strict facial identity matching — preserve facial structure, proportions, skin tone, age characteristics, beard density, hairstyle, and natural facial details without beautification or stylization.
    If the reference shows a clean-shaven face, the subject must remain completely clean-shaven — do not add, enhance, suggest, or stylize any beard or stubble. If facial hair is present in the reference image, it must be preserved accurately and appear natural, clean, and well-groomed.
    The subject is shown in a waist-up medium shot, centered in frame, making direct eye contact with a subtle, confident smirk. His left hand is raised naturally while tipping or adjusting a classic black fedora, while his right hand rests inside his trouser pocket, creating a relaxed yet composed posture. Body posture remains upright and balanced, conveying calm confidence and elegance.
    Clothing & Accessories:

    The subject wears a well-tailored chocolate-brown blazer with classic notch lapels, flap pockets, and visible textile weave, buttoned at the top for a structured silhouette. Underneath is a dark charcoal or black open-collar button-down shirt with no tie, creating a modern vintage smart-casual look. A matte black fedora with a grosgrain ribbon sits naturally on the head. On the left wrist, a gold-tone luxury watch with a metallic link bracelet and large circular dial adds a refined accent.
    Physical Detail & Realism:

    Maintain natural skin texture, visible pores, subtle laugh lines, and realistic beard(if present) texture with slight salt-and-pepper tones. Eyes remain natural and sharp, with realistic light reflections.
    Lighting & Technical Style:

    Soft cinematic studio lighting with the key light coming from the upper left, creating gentle shadows and a subtle Rembrandt-style triangle of light on the opposite cheek. Soft shadowing appears beneath the hat brim, adding depth and dimension. Shallow depth of field keeps the subject sharply focused against a smooth background.
    Background & Color Palette:

    A warm, smooth studio backdrop in muted tan and brown tones with a soft vignette — lighter behind the subject’s head and darker toward the edges for separation. Overall color grading uses warm earthy tones such as umber, sienna, and ochre, balanced by the contrast of the black hat and shirt.
    Negative prompts:

    over-smoothing, plastic skin, exaggerated sharpness, identity change, cartoonish rendering, unrealistic lighting, distorted hands, extra fingers, blurred face, over-stylization, heavy HDR, artificial skin glow.
