Intense Gaze — Ultra-Realistic Extreme Close-Up Portrait

# Intense Gaze — Ultra-Realistic Extreme Close-Up Portrait **Style:** Photorealistic cinematic beauty photography **Aspect Ratio:** 16:9 horizontal **Quality:** 8K Ultra HD, DSLR RAW aesthetic ### IDENTITY PRESERVATION — ABSOLUTE FACE LOCK Use my uploaded personal photograph as the only facial identity reference. Preserve my real identity and natural facial characteristics with maximum possible accuracy. Maintain the original eye shape, eyelids, eye spacing, eyebrows, forehead, nose bridge, skin tone, hairline, and natural facial proportions. Do not alter my identity, beautify my face, or apply artificial skin smoothing. ### COMPOSITION AND FRAMING Create an extreme close-up photograph of a young South Asian man’s eyes and upper face. The eyes are the central focal point, positioned horizontally across the middle of the frame. Include both eyebrows, the forehead, the upper bridge of the nose, and the surrounding facial skin. The face fills almost the entire image, with the top of the frame partially covered by thick, naturally messy black hair. The camera is positioned directly in front of the subject at eye level. Both eyes look calmly toward the camera with an intense, thoughtful, slightly mysterious expression. Maintain natural eye alignment and realistic facial symmetry without digitally correcting individual features. ### EYES AND EYEBROWS Deep, dark-brown eyes with realistic iris detail, natural catchlights, visible eyelashes, and subtle reflections. Thick, dark eyebrows with individual hairs, natural density, and slight unevenness. Preserve realistic eyelid folds, under-eye texture, and the delicate shadows surrounding the eyes. Avoid unnaturally bright eyes or exaggerated sharpness. ### HAIR AND SKIN TEXTURE Thick, messy black hair falls naturally over the forehead, with fine individual strands crossing parts of the upper forehead. Preserve realistic hair texture and flyaway strands. Show authentic skin pores, tiny imperfections, subtle fine lines, natural oil texture, and realistic tonal variation. No plastic skin, excessive retouching, face smoothing, or artificial beauty filters. ### LIGHTING AND COLOR Soft, directional cinematic lighting from the front and slightly to one side. Warm, muted highlights illuminate the forehead and upper cheeks, while subtle cool shadows define the eye sockets and sides of the face. Use a dark, nearly black background with low-key lighting and restrained contrast. Natural warm-brown skin tones, deep blacks, muted highlights, and a subtle cinematic film aesthetic. Avoid excessive orange color grading, artificial glow, and HDR effects. ### CAMERA AND QUALITY Professional macro portrait photography, 85mm portrait lens or 100mm macro lens, shallow depth of field, precise focus on both eyes, realistic optical detail, and natural photographic rendering. Preserve fine eyebrow hairs, eyelashes, iris reflections, skin pores, and individual hair strands. Ultra-photorealistic 8K detail, crisp eyes, lifelike skin, realistic shadows, and authentic DSLR RAW quality. ### NEGATIVE PROMPT Blurry eyes, crossed eyes, altered eye shape, uneven pupils, artificial iris color, over-smoothed skin, plastic texture, excessive sharpening, fake eyelashes, distorted eyebrows, duplicated facial features, unnatural skin tone, exaggerated symmetry, beauty filter, cartoon, CGI, AI-generated appearance, text, watermark. **FINAL OUTPUT:** Extreme close-up horizontal portrait, 16:9 aspect ratio. Match the reference framing, intense gaze, messy hair, natural skin texture, and dark cinematic atmosphere while preserving my real facial identity. Insert discreet watermark in the lower right corner of the image, vertical text (rotated 90°), written "aipromptlabs.online", Calibri Light font, white color with low opacity (semi-transparent), medium size. Extreme sharpness on the face, fabric texture and typography of the letters. Shot on Canon EOS R5, 50mm f/2.8, studio light.
