Beyond the Blue

PROMPT

Use the uploaded bottom-right blue editorial portrait only as the reference for the composition, pose, framing, subject placement, camera angle, lens, lighting pattern, shadow placement, blue background, soft double exposure, vertical ghosting, warm edge highlights and dreamy cinematic atmosphere.

Replace only the original subject with the person shown in the newly uploaded target character reference image.

The generated subject must be the same individual as the uploaded target reference, not a similar-looking person. The facial identity is the highest priority in the entire prompt and must take precedence over every artistic or stylistic instruction. Preserve the exact facial identity with the highest possible identity fidelity. Do not alter, beautify, stylize, reinterpret, idealize or approximate the face. Reproduce the same face shape, head structure, facial proportions, bone structure, forehead, eyebrows, eyes, eyelids, eyelashes, nose, nostrils, lips, mouth shape, teeth visibility if present, cheekbones, jawline, chin, ears, skin texture, complexion, natural asymmetry, hairstyle, hairline, hair texture, hair volume and every unique facial characteristic exactly as shown in the target reference image. The target character must remain clearly and consistently recognizable as the same person.

Never borrow, blend, inherit or preserve any facial features, facial proportions or identity characteristics from the composition reference image. Use the composition reference only for composition, pose, framing, camera angle, lighting, color palette and artistic atmosphere.

If any artistic effect—including double exposure, ghosting, motion blur, slow shutter, bloom, halation, color grading or lighting—reduces facial identity accuracy, automatically reduce or disable those effects as necessary while preserving the facial identity first.

Preserve the person's real facial identity, including face shape, head structure, hairstyle, hair texture, hair volume, hairline, forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips, cheekbones, jawline, chin, ears, skin tone, facial hair if present, neck length, shoulder proportions and natural physique. Do not preserve facial features belonging to the original person.

POSE AND COMPOSITION: Maintain the exact vertical medium close-up portrait, framed from approximately the middle of the chest upward. Position the primary subject slightly right of center. Keep the torso facing mostly forward with a subtle turn toward camera-left.

The head is turned three-quarters toward the left side of the frame and tilted slightly upward. Raise the chin gently. The eyes should look calmly into the distance toward the upper-left area of the frame. Preserve the reflective, confident and introspective expression.

Keep the same headroom, body scale and open blue space. Do not recenter or resize the character.

CLOTHING: Adapt the outfit naturally to suit the target character while preserving the same minimalist visual weight. Use a premium plain white or soft ivory crew-neck T-shirt with a clean neckline, natural fabric folds and slightly loose shoulders. No logos, prints, graphics, text, patterns, jewelry or accessories.

LIGHTING: Preserve the luminous blue seamless studio background, slightly lighter behind the subject and deeper toward the outer edges.

Use a soft cyan-blue key light from front-left at approximately 45–50% intensity. Keep the front of the face mostly in soft shadow. Add a stronger cool blue backlight from behind camera-right at approximately 65% intensity, creating a visible rim around the hair and right shoulder.

Add a subtle warm amber or pale orange edge light from camera-right at approximately 25–30% intensity. This warm light should touch the hair, cheekbone, neck and outer edge of the right shoulder without overpowering the blue palette.

Maintain a gentle soft-focus glow, smooth shadow transitions and low-contrast cinematic exposure.

DOUBLE-EXPOSURE AND GHOSTING EFFECT: Reproduce the same soft multiple-exposure effect with approximately 3–4 overlapping silhouettes. Offset the ghost images mainly toward camera-left and slightly upward.

Create a semi-transparent duplicate of the head and hair behind the primary figure, using deep blue and cyan opacity between 20% and 40%. Add elongated vertical rectangular ghosting from the head, neck and shoulders down toward the chest.

The primary face must remain perfectly sharp, unobstructed and the most readable layer. Never allow ghosting, motion blur or overlapping exposure to distort facial features or reduce facial identity accuracy. Keep the multiple-exposure intensity medium, approximately 55–60%. The effect should feel fluid, soft and dreamlike rather than sharply fragmented.

Add subtle vertical blue light smears across the right side of the torso. Include a restrained warm amber streak along the right shoulder and outer sleeve. Preserve gentle optical bloom and slight chromatic separation.

CAMERA AND LENS: Simulate a full-frame camera with an 85mm portrait lens at approximately f/1.8 or f/2.0, ISO 320 and a shutter speed around 1/8 to 1/3 second. Combine a brief flash exposure with slight upward and lateral camera movement. Camera positioned at upper-chest level and angled upward by approximately 3–4 degrees.

COLOR GRADING: Use rich cobalt blue, cyan, indigo and cool white as the primary palette. Retain small warm amber highlights on the hair, skin and shoulder. Preserve soft blacks, diffused highlights, subtle film grain and gentle cinematic halation.

STYLE AND QUALITY: Hyper-realistic fine-art fashion portrait, experimental double exposure, slow-shutter studio photography, dreamy cinematic mood, premium editorial campaign, minimalist visual design, optical ghosting, realistic skin and fabric detail, soft analog texture.

Do not change the background, pose, framing, head angle, gaze direction, lighting positions, color palette, motion direction or lens perspective. Do not add typography, logos, accessories, props or extra subjects.
