Cinematic Sideways-Gaze Portrait with Diagonal Blind Shadows
Use the uploaded image as the absolute identity reference. The face in the uploaded image — every facial feature, skin tone, eye shape, nose, lips, jaw, chin, bone structure and all proportions exactly as they appear — is the only face permitted in the output. Do not reinterpret, idealise, restructure, soften into a different person or replace any feature. Copy the exact face from the uploaded image as if tracing it. If the output face does not match the uploaded image face precisely, the generation has failed.
LOCKED — FACE IDENTITY — DO NOT ALTER ANYTHING BELOW:
The subject is a specific real-looking young adult woman in her late teens to early twenties. Every single characteristic below must be reproduced exactly as it appears in the uploaded image with zero deviation:
Face shape: oval with a gently heart-shaped taper toward the lower face — do not widen, lengthen or restructure. Jawline: narrow, smooth and softly defined — do not sharpen, square or alter the jaw angle. Chin: small, rounded and mildly projected — do not change chin shape or size. Cheekbones: moderately prominent, especially on the camera-right illuminated side — do not exaggerate or flatten. Skin tone: light beige with neutral-peach and subtle golden undertones described as pale warm ivory with a thin diluted peach wash and faint golden cast — do not lighten, darken or shift the undertone. Eyes: almond-shaped with a mild upward outer angle, medium-large size, very dark brown irises, visible crease with slight hooding — do not change eye shape, size, spacing or colour. Eyebrows: deep brown to black, mostly straight with a soft outer arch, medium thickness, moderately close to the eyes, cleanly shaped and softly filled — do not alter brow shape, density or placement. Nose: straight, narrow-to-medium, medium-high bridge, compact softly rounded tip, narrow nostrils, medium-short philtrum — do not change the nose in any way. Lips: lower lip fuller than upper, softly but clearly defined cupid's bow, nearly level corners, warm coral-red with muted terracotta undertones, satin finish with slight central sheen, lips gently parted with minimal tension — do not change lip shape, colour or open state. Hair: deep black to espresso brown base with warm dark-brown and chestnut reflections in lit zones, long, mostly straight with slight natural bends and loose flyaway strands, soft centre-to-slightly-off-centre part, several fine strands crossing the forehead and cheeks — do not restyle, recolour or restructure. This face must come through the generation completely unchanged. Any deviation in facial identity means the prompt has not been followed.
Recreate the same young adult woman, same dark slate-grey indoor wall with diagonal blind-stripe light and shadow bands, same ivory-white off-the-shoulder fine ribbed knit top with right shoulder fully exposed, same thin silver-pale gunmetal oversized rounded-rectangle glasses, same full polished beauty makeup, same hard directional sunlight from upper camera-right, same sideways camera-left gaze while head turns camera-right, same cinematic warm-cool split grade and same quiet mysterious editorial atmosphere. Do not invent anything new. The uploaded image is the sole reference for every element.
Generate a photorealistic image of this exact female subject in an approximately 9:16 tall portrait composition. Head positioned slightly left of the vertical centreline, torso occupying the central and lower-right frame. Body extends diagonally from lower camera-right toward upper camera-left. Torso carries a strong three-quarter orientation toward camera-right approaching a near-side-profile angle. Subject's right shoulder on camera-left is closest to the camera and is prominently exposed — fully bare shoulder visible. Subject's left shoulder is farther from the camera and largely covered by hair and clothing. Shoulder line is diagonal with the exposed camera-left shoulder appearing slightly higher due to perspective. Head turned toward camera-right, broadly following the torso but rotating slightly back toward the camera. Nearly level head tilt with a very slight tilt toward the subject's right. Chin at neutral-to-subtly-raised position. Both hands completely outside the lower crop — zero exposed fingers, zero visible palms, zero visible wrists. No forearms clearly visible. Visible area covers full head, neck, one fully exposed right shoulder, upper chest and upper torso, cropped at approximately the lower chest or upper waist.
LOCKED — EYE GAZE: Both eyes fully open and shifted sideways toward camera-left at an approximately level angle while the head remains turned toward camera-right — the gaze clearly diverges from the head direction, creating an alert deliberate sideways glance back toward camera-left. Averted eye contact — the gaze passes close to the camera position but does not centre directly into the lens. Both irises shifted toward camera-left. Camera-left eye marginally darker due to shadow. Small faint window-shaped or linear catchlights visible but partially obscured by eyeglass lens reflections. Do not default to camera-facing eyes under any circumstances.
Skin retouching at level 8 out of 10 — strong controlled smoothing across the forehead, both cheeks, under-eye areas, jawline, neck and the fully exposed right shoulder. Only very faint residual micro-texture remaining around the nose sides, upper lip and chin. Smooth controlled luminous sheen on the cheekbones, nose bridge and lips rather than oily shine. Strong beauty retouching with airbrushed or AI-polished quality that stops short of a completely flat plastic surface. Fine pale speckling across the face, neck and exposed shoulder — render these as a foreground glass, dust or cinematic overlay effect rather than skin freckles, appearing as very fine pale dots scattered across multiple surfaces including the background.
LOCKED — MAKEUP: Render full polished beauty makeup throughout. Foundation: medium-to-full coverage luminous satin finish, even and brightened complexion. Concealer: brightening and smoothing beneath both eyes and central face. Eyeshadow: soft champagne-beige and muted taupe-brown across both upper lids, slightly deeper at the outer corners blending toward the crease. Eyeliner: thin dark liner concentrated along the upper lash line only. Mascara: present on upper lashes with visible definition and added length. Lower lashes: lightly defined. Blush: subtle warm peach placed across both upper cheeks. Contour: soft sculpting beneath both cheekbones and around the jaw edge. Lip colour: warm coral-red with muted terracotta undertones at approximately hue 10–15° at 55–65% saturation and 48–55% brightness, satin finish with a slight moist central highlight. Lips gently parted with minimal tension. Natural lip outline maintained with slightly enhanced cupid's bow definition. Eyebrows: softly filled and groomed, visible hair texture preserved, deep brown to black at approximately hue 20–25°, mostly straight with a soft outer arch, medium thickness, cleanly shaped without sharp drawn edges. Do not render bare or minimal makeup — this is a full polished beauty look.
Post-processing character: warm sunlight key against cool blue-grey shadows, key light zones at approximately 4200–4800K warm-neutral, cool ambient shadow zones at approximately 6500–7500K cool slate-blue, high contrast, moderately muted saturation except the warm coral lips and golden skin highlights, strong split toning with golden-peach highlights against cool charcoal-slate shadows, fine foreground speckling and soft diagonal streaking overlay suggesting shooting through glass or a cinematic light-leak effect.
LOCKED — GLASSES: Oversized rounded-rectangle eyeglasses present and must be rendered precisely. Frame colour: thin silver, pale gunmetal or cool grey metal at approximately hue 200–210° at 10–15% saturation and 55–65% brightness. Frame construction: fine full-rim metal frame, thin profile. Bridge: narrow metal bridge with clear adjustable nose pads visible at the nose. Lens shape: large rectangular lenses with rounded corners. Temple arms: thin and partly concealed beneath the long hair on both sides. Lens reflections: visible window and diagonal-light reflections on both lenses, strongest on the camera-right lens where the key light source strikes — appearing as a broad soft diagonal reflection band. Camera-left lens carries lighter residual reflection. Both eyes remain visible through or around the lens surfaces despite reflections. The glasses frame must sit correctly on the nose bridge and ears with accurate three-quarter-turned perspective — do not float, distort or misplace the frame. Several fine hair strands cross over the glasses frames and lenses naturally.
Hair: deep black to espresso brown base at approximately hue 25–30° at 20–30% saturation and 6–12% brightness in the main mass, warm dark-brown and chestnut specular reflections at approximately hue 28–33° appearing along the illuminated camera-right strands where the key light strikes. Long length extending below the shoulders and beyond the bottom crop. Mostly straight with slight natural bends and loose flyaway strands. Soft centre-to-slightly-off-centre part. Several fine strands naturally crossing the forehead, both cheeks and the glasses frame surface. Smooth and fine-to-medium texture. Satin-glossy finish in illuminated areas, near-black matte in the deep shadow mass. Moderate volume at the crown, fuller along camera-left. Dense hair falls behind the exposed right shoulder and along both sides of the face. The camera-left hair mass falls toward and partially beyond the camera-left frame edge. Near-black shadow-side hair mass loses individual strand detail.
Keep the same clothing: an ivory-white off-the-shoulder fine ribbed knit top at approximately hue 40–45° at 5–8% saturation and 88–94% brightness in the directly lit zones, transitioning to pale warm grey at approximately 55–65% brightness in shadow zones. Material: fine vertical rib-knit construction with clearly visible narrow vertical ribbing channels. Fit: fitted across the visible upper torso. Neckline: wide off-the-shoulder construction — subject's right shoulder on camera-left is fully bare and exposed, the neckline rises higher across the chest toward the farther camera-right shoulder. Sleeves likely full length but outside the visible crop. Zero logos, zero patterns beyond the ribbing, zero fasteners, zero buttons, zero zippers. Smooth tension across the upper chest with shallow folds near the neckline. The exposed right shoulder carries the same diagonal blind-stripe shadow pattern as the wall and face.
No earrings. No necklace. No pendant. No rings. No watch. No bracelets. No hat. No bag. No held objects. No visible tattoos. No visible scars. No facial piercings. Both hands and wrists completely outside the lower crop.
The background follows the uploaded image exactly: approximately three depth layers — a soft foreground layer of translucent diagonal streaks and fine pale speckling suggesting glass or a cinematic overlay; the subject as the middle layer; and a dark slate-grey wall as the background layer. Background colour: slate grey and charcoal blue at approximately hue 200–210° at 15–20% saturation and 12–20% brightness at the centre, darkening toward the edges. Smooth softly graded surface, largely out of focus. Several broad diagonal dark shadow bands cross the background from upper-left toward lower-right, produced by blinds or a narrow window frame intercepting the key light — these shadow bands are hard-edged where they cross the background wall and become slightly softer where they cross the subject. A thin warm edge separation appears along some camera-right hair strands from the key light wrapping around the hair edge. Zero objects, zero furniture, zero additional people, zero readable text, zero signage, zero watermarks, zero sparkle symbols.
Use the same lighting: key light positioned at 1–2 o'clock upper camera-right, hard and strongly directional, approximately 4200–4800K warm-neutral sunlight entering through blinds or a narrow window. Shadow edges sharply defined especially across the forehead, glasses frames, cheek, neck and exposed shoulder. Multiple diagonal parallel light and shadow stripes — several centimetres wide — cross the hair, face, glasses, shoulder and background simultaneously, tracking at a consistent diagonal angle from upper-right to lower-left. Facial illumination: camera-right forehead, temple, cheekbone, nose bridge and lips receive the strongest warm light. Facial shadow: camera-left side of the face and hair fall into deeper cool shade. Nose shadow falls toward camera-left. Soft jaw shadow beneath the jaw and along the neck. Exposed right shoulder on camera-left receives a broad warm light zone crossed by darker diagonal blind-shadow bands. Fill light: low cool blue-grey fill at approximately 15–20% preserving shadow-side detail. Thin warm edge separation along camera-right hair strands. Small window-shaped catchlights in both eyes, partly intermixed with lens reflections. Key light temperature approximately 4500K warm-neutral. Ambient shadow temperature approximately 7000K cool slate-blue.
Render at maximum photorealistic quality. The uploaded face is the total identity lock — match it exactly. Do not change her face. Do not remodel her bone structure. Do not smooth her into a different person. Do not give her different eyes, different nose, different jaw or different lips. Do not change the lip colour from warm coral-red. Do not remove or reduce the makeup — render the full polished beauty look exactly as locked. Do not remove the glasses — the thin silver oversized rounded-rectangle frames must be present and correctly placed with diagonal light reflections on the camera-right lens. Do not change the ivory-white off-the-shoulder ribbed top. Do not add a necklace, earrings, bracelets or any accessories. Do not show hands, wrists or forearms. Do not shift the gaze toward the camera — keep both eyes directed sideways toward camera-left while the head faces camera-right. Do not remove the diagonal blind-stripe shadow pattern from the face, shoulder and background — these are essential to the image. Do not add any background objects, furniture or additional people. Do not add text, watermark or sparkle symbol. Do not remove the fine foreground speckling and diagonal streak overlay. Maintain the warm-cool split grade with approximately 4200–4800K key light and 6500–7500K cool slate shadow throughout. No CGI look. No plastic skin. No anatomical errors. No beauty filter. No motion blur. No lens distortion. Ultra high resolution. Sharp facial detail exactly matching the uploaded subject. Luminous satin skin texture with retouching level 8 out of 10. Photorealistic only.
