Key instructions to preserve

IDENTITY LOCK: Use the uploaded photo as the sole identity reference. Preserve the subject's facial structure, skin tone, eye shape, hairstyle, and every distinguishing feature exactly — the person must remain instantly recognizable. No beautification, no face reshaping, no expression change unless stated. SCENE: Classic head-and-shoulders Hollywood studio portrait of the subject in 1950s styling — structured tailoring, immaculate era-appropriate hair — gazing just off-lens with movie-star composure. LIGHT: Hard 3200K tungsten butterfly key from high front creating the signature under-nose shadow, polished silver bounce fill, hair light carving a bright rim, black-and- white silver-gelatin rendering with deep D-max blacks. CAMERA: 105mm f/4 look, face filling the frame in true close portrait scale, retouching-free skin with honest grain. RULES: Face large, frontal, and fully visible; monochrome only; era styling adapts to any gender presentation; no cigarettes.
