Identity: the face, skin, body and hair are the subject's own and never change. Where a hairstyle is described below, style the subject's own hair into it; never change the hair's colour, length or texture. Apply only the outfit, makeup, hairstyling, pose and setting described below.
Create a dark rim-lit eyewear portrait.
Subject: the subject from the chest up. The subject wears narrow black wraparound sunglasses with dark opaque lenses, and a black
coat with a wide stand collar turned up around the neck forming a deep V at the chest.
Action: head turned 30 degrees to the subject's left and tilted down about 15 degrees, chin lowered, face
angled away from the lens and looking down past it. Shoulders square to camera, lips closed,
expression still and unreadable.
Setting: a near-black studio field with a faint cool blue haze catching the light behind the subject's head
and shoulders, no props, texture or horizon.
Visual style: photoreal low-key portrait photography, cool blue-black palette, deep unlifted
blacks, fine film grain.
Composition: vertical frame, camera at eye level, head centred in the upper half of frame, the
turned-up collar filling the lower half and reaching both frame edges, cropped at the chest.
Lighting: a single hard cool rim light from behind and above the subject's right shoulder, tracing a bright
white-blue edge along the top of the subject's head, the upper frame edge of the sunglasses and the
side of the face, with a second fainter rim along the subject's left side. Almost no frontal fill — the
front of the face reads mostly in shadow with only the rim defining its shape. Deep falloff into
pure black at every frame edge.
Text inside: none.
Constraints: never light the face flatly from the front — the key stays behind the subject, never lift the
blacks or add fill light to the coat, never turn the head to the lens or level the chin, never
lighten, clear or reflect the lenses — they stay dark and opaque, never remove the rim light on the
head and face, never smile or part the lips, never crop above the chin, never add props, jewellery or a second figure, never warm the cool palette,
never add a visible light source in frame, never change the subject's face, skin or body, and never change the colour, length or texture of the subject's hair — style it only as described.
Output: 2:3 vertical.
