Key instructions to preserve
No beautification, no face reshaping, no expression change unless stated.
GuardrailThis is a portrait of authority — do not beautify, do not soften, do not remove the grain.
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: Subject photographed in the style of a legendary album's 30th-anniversary reissue deluxe edition cover — a portrait that feels aged and significant, the kind of image that gets studied in music photography courses. Black and white, or desaturated with a single color tone, shot with the quiet authority of a David Sims or Anton Corbijn portrait. PHYSICS & CRAFT: Single bare tungsten bulb from slightly above and to the left, no fill — 2900K hard light, deep shadow on the right side of the face occupying more than half the frame. This is the lighting that says 'I have something to say.' The grain is aggressive — ISO 3200 equivalent pushed two stops, the kind of grain that looks like sand. The background is nothing — pure black context. TECHNICAL EXECUTION: 85mm f/2.0, tight portrait, eyes in the upper third, aggressive contrast, the subject's gaze slightly off camera as if looking at something the viewer cannot see, timeless editorial. HARD CONSTRAINTS: This is a portrait of authority — do not beautify, do not soften, do not remove the grain. The lighting is asymmetric by design. The face must be recognizably the subject.
