Split Focus
Any aspect ratio
Create a cinematic vertical 4:5 portrait of the reference person. The subject is shown in a chest up, facing side profile, with the head slightly lowered and the body standing in a calm, introspective pose. The subject should appear mostly as a dark silhouette, with only a subtle rim light defining the hairline, forehead, nose bridge, lips, jawline, and edge of the face. Use a warm sunset gradient background with deep orange and red tones behind the subject, softly fading into a muted greenish-gray tone near the top. Add soft atmospheric haze, a dreamy glow, and gentle film-like diffusion. Create a long-exposure motion-blur effect with a faint translucent ghost-like duplicate of the head trailing behind the subject, while keeping the main profile readable and emotionally strong. The composition should be minimal, cinematic, and contemplative, with high contrast, moody lighting, soft focus, shallow depth of field, and an editorial film-photography aesthetic. No text, no logo, no extra objects, no harsh details, no over-sharpening. Aspect ratio 4:5.
