1️⃣ SUBJECT & POSE A subject is tightly wrapped and emerging from the center parting of a heavy fabric curtain. The subject's head and upper chest area are visible, looking directly forward at the camera. The posture is rigid and framed symmetrically by the fabric. The subject is wearing dark, rectangular sunglasses and has a lit cigar resting in their mouth, tilted slightly downward. A thick, wispy plume of white smoke rises vertically from the glowing tip of the cigar, curving elegantly toward the top left corner of the frame. 2️⃣ CLOTHING & STYLING Visible clothing consists of a crisp, white collared shirt and a neatly tied, solid matte black tie extending downward. The shirt collar peaks out from beneath the tightly drawn curtain. The hair on the head is cropped short and natural, and a full, dense, well-defined beard frames the lower jawline and chin. 3️⃣ ENVIRONMENT & SCENE The background and foreground are dominated entirely by a massive, rich reddish-brown or terracotta velvet curtain with a textured, slightly mottled surface. The fabric hangs vertically with deep, soft folds that compress around the subject, creating an intentional, theatrical, or high-fashion portrait setting. 4️⃣ LIGHTING The lighting is soft but highly directional, coming from the upper right to illuminate the right side of the subject's face and the folds of the curtain. Deep, subtle shadows are cast on the left side of the scene, creating strong contrast, depth, and drama. The lit end of the cigar shows a warm orange glow. 5️⃣ CAMERA & TECHNICALS A professional studio portrait shot with a high-end DSLR camera. Captured with a 50mm portrait lens at a medium aperture feel to keep both the subject and the immediate folds of the curtain in sharp focus. The framing is a vertical medium close-up, perfectly centered. 6️⃣ MOOD & REALISM The mood is mysterious, confident, and editorial. The image has a raw, unretouched, documentary portrait feel. 7️⃣ CONSTRAINTS No beautification. No face reshaping. No artificial skin smoothing or airbrushing. Preserve natural skin textures, pores, lines, and micro-asymmetries. Non-AI look with physical, material believability. IDENTITY INSTRUCTION: Replace the subject’s identity entirely with the uploaded reference photo. Preserve the reference face exactly as-is — including natural proportions, asymmetry, and skin texture. Do not beautify, smooth, idealize, or modify facial features. Identity accuracy is more important than style.
