Black Gold Cinematic Portrait ChatGPT Prompt

Use the uploaded photo only as a facial identity reference. Accurately preserve the subject's natural face shape, facial proportions, skin tone, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, facial hair (if present), and overall likeness. Do not beautify, reshape, masculinize, feminize, or alter the person's identity in any way.
Create an ultra-realistic cinematic fine-art portrait in a vertical 9:16 aspect ratio.
Compose a tight head-and-neck portrait with the subject positioned almost directly toward the camera, featuring only a subtle three-quarter turn toward camera-left. Keep the pose natural and still, with the eyes looking slightly past the camera toward camera-left. The expression should be calm, serious, introspective, and intense, with relaxed facial muscles and closed lips. Avoid smiles or exaggerated expressions.
Maintain the subject's natural hair texture and color from the reference image. Render realistic individual hair strands, including a few loose strands resting naturally across the forehead.
Lighting is the defining visual element. Render the portrait predominantly in deep monochrome tones of black, charcoal, and muted cool gray. A single, narrow horizontal band of warm golden-amber light should pass cleanly across both eyes, the bridge of the nose, and the upper cheeks, as if sunlight is entering through a very narrow window slit. The light strip must have crisp, well-defined edges, remain consistently narrow, and create strong contrast against the surrounding darkness.
Within this golden light band, reveal fine details such as eyelashes, catchlights in the eyes, eyebrow texture, skin pores, and subtle facial texture. Keep the eyes natural without changing their iris color or creating any glowing or supernatural appearance. All warm tones must remain confined to the light strip, while the rest of the face, hair, neck, clothing, and background stay heavily desaturated and immersed in shadow.
Frame the face prominently, placing the eyes near the upper third of the composition. Allow the hair to naturally fill the upper frame, while the jawline, neck, and shoulders gradually fade into rich black shadows. Dress the subject in a plain black collared shirt or dark jacket that blends seamlessly into the darkness.
The background should be a pure, seamless black with no visible textures, objects, light sources, or environmental details.
Render with exceptional realism, including detailed skin pores, natural imperfections, realistic facial hair or stubble where applicable, sharp eyelashes, individually defined hair strands, refined micro-contrast, rich blacks, preserved shadow detail, and premium editorial-quality retouching. Maintain authentic skin texture without excessive smoothing.
Camera settings should emulate an 85mm portrait lens at eye level with a subtle low-angle perspective, shot at f/2.0, shallow depth of field, ISO 100, studio-quality sharpness, and cinematic high dynamic range.
The overall mood should be mysterious, powerful, luxurious, and cinematic, resembling high-end dark editorial fashion photography with a refined black-and-gold fine-art aesthetic.
Avoid colorful lighting outside the eye-level light strip, broad sunlight across the face, glowing or fantasy-style eyes, paint-like lighting effects, overexposed golden highlights, flat illumination, visible background elements, soft or blurry eyes, artificial skin smoothing, exaggerated expressions, smiles, accessories, glasses, hats, jewelry, text, watermarks, logos, cartoons, CGI, illustrations, paintings, lens distortion, or low-resolution details.
