Prompt

Create a hyper-realistic cinematic low-key portrait based on the uploaded reference image. Keep everything exactly the same: vertical framing, full-body-to-knees crop, subject placement in the center, side-profile pose, dark black background, strong horizontal white tube light behind the subject, smoke/fog around the backlight, subtle lens flare, deep shadows, minimal composition, high contrast, and mysterious editorial atmosphere. Replace only the original person with the character from the newly uploaded target reference image. Preserve the target character’s real facial identity, face shape, hairstyle, hairline, forehead, nose, lips, jawline, chin, skin tone adapted naturally to the low-key lighting, and any facial hair if present. The target character must remain recognizable while still appearing mostly in silhouette. The target character must keep the exact same pose and position: standing upright in profile view, facing to the right side, shoulders relaxed, head level, body still, hands naturally down or in pockets depending on the silhouette, with a calm, serious, elegant expression. The side profile of the face must remain clean and clearly outlined against the bright backlight. Change only the outfit according to the target character, choosing the most suitable elegant dark outfit for this scene. Prefer a black or very dark tailored blazer, suit jacket, long coat, or minimal formal fashion piece that preserves the same refined silhouette. The outfit must remain subtle and mostly dark, without distracting details, so the silhouette effect stays dominant. Maintain the exact same lighting setup: one bright horizontal light bar running behind the subject at upper torso level, creating a rim-lit side silhouette; soft smoke or mist spreading around the light; extremely dark surroundings; very limited frontal illumination; and a faint cinematic lens flare near the lower chest area. Keep the smoke density, backlight intensity, framing, and dramatic mood unchanged. Do not change the background, smoke, light bar position, light intensity, camera angle, crop, pose, subject placement, color palette, contrast, or atmosphere. Only replace the person and adapt the clothing to the target character.
