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: Close-up of the subject peeking through a heavy red velvet stage curtain toward camera, one hand holding the fabric, stage light blooming behind them, expression a mix of nerves and thrill. LIGHT: Warm 3000K stage wash leaking around the curtain as a rim, a soft 4600K front fill keeping the whole face bright and readable, velvet folds swallowing light beautifully. CAMERA: 85mm f/2 at face height, curtain texture framing but never covering the features. RULES: Face large, sharp, and fully visible in the curtain gap; audience unseen; era-timeless theatrical styling.
