Use the uploaded image as the ONLY facial and identity reference.
Preserve 100% exact facial structure, proportions, skin tone, hairstyle, grooming details, and overall likeness. Do not beautify, stylize, or alter identity. Maintain natural skin texture, pores, fine lines, and imperfections for true realism.
Create a high-contrast, cinematic black-and-white portrait in a low-key studio lighting style (film noir / luxury editorial).
