Use the attached image as the primary character reference. Preserve the subject’s recognizable identity, exact facial structure, age, skin tone, eye shape, hairstyle, hair texture and distinctive features. Do not redesign, beautify or replace the face with a generic model.

Experimental cinematic portrait, extreme side-profile close-up at eye level, tightly cropped so the forehead, nose, lips and chin form a sharp silhouette against the darkness. The subject is holding perfectly still with the head tilted slightly forward as though listening to something inside the light, with heavy-lidded concentration and restrained vulnerability.

The environment is swallowed in cinematic shadow. The entire scene is illuminated by the physical movement of light over a long exposure. Continuous, fluid lines of intense, warm golden light thread through the dark air. These are not floating particles, sparks, or fireflies—they are unbroken, ribbon-like trails of pure illumination that physically occupy the three-dimensional space.

A dense bundle of parallel golden threads flows horizontally toward the face, separates just before touching the profile and bends around the forehead, nose and lips like illuminated currents moving around a solid object. The trails rejoin behind the head in one smooth stream, producing precise warm highlights along the eyelashes, nose bridge and lip edge.

The core of the subject's face is frozen in perfect, razor-sharp focus (rear-curtain flash effect), contrasting violently with the fluid, kinetic motion of the light threads. Where the light grazes the skin, preserve absolute realism: pores, fine hairs, and raw human texture. Soft 35mm film grain, kinetic light-painting portraiture, dark romanticism.

Negative prompt: fireflies, floating sparks, glowing bugs, fairy dust, bokeh dots, plastic skin, cheap digital neon lines, glossy commercial beauty lighting, 3d render, airbrushed, digital painting, flat lighting, cartoon, exaggerated grimaces, flawless skin, flat sci-fi holograms.

Edit the attached reference image into a cinematic long-exposure light-painting portrait. Highest priority: preserve this exact person’s identity. Keep the recognizable facial structure, apparent age, natural skin tone, eye shape, nose, lips, jawline, hairstyle, hair texture, and all distinctive features exactly as in the reference. Do not make the person younger, more glamorous, more symmetrical, or replace them with a generic fashion model. Preserve realistic skin texture, pores, fine facial hair, and natural imperfections. Create a tight vertical 9:16 portrait at eye level: a clean side-profile close-up facing right, framed from upper forehead to lower neck. The face is calm and still, with a slightly forward-leaning head, relaxed lips, a focused heavy-lidded gaze, and quiet emotional vulnerability. Keep the visible eye, nose, lips, and facial contour unobstructed and sharply recognizable. Set the portrait against a nearly black cinematic background. Use long-exposure light painting: continuous, warm amber-gold real long-exposure light trails made by moving a warm tungsten light source during the exposure moving horizontally through real three-dimensional space. A dense set of parallel luminous strands with glowing aura approaches from behind the head, then naturally separates and curves around the forehead, bridge of the nose, eyelashes, lips, and chin, as if flowing around a solid object. The strands reunite behind the head. They must be smooth, unbroken light trails, not dots, insects, sparks, particles, smoke, wires, or neon graphics. Freeze the face in razor-sharp realistic focus with a subtle rear-curtain flash look, while only the golden light trails show fluid motion. The light creates delicate warm rim highlights along the eyelashes, nose bridge, cheek edge, and lips. Photorealistic low-key cinematography, soft 35mm film grain, warm golden highlights, deep natural shadows, intimate and restrained rather than glossy. Avoid: beauty retouching, plastic or airbrushed skin, CGI, 3D render, illustration, cartoon style, bokeh dots, fireflies, sparks, fairy dust, holograms, flat lighting, visible light source, glossy advertising beauty look, exaggerated facial expression, obscured face, distorted facial anatomy.
