Step 1: Upload Your Photo
Upload a clear, high-quality photo of yourself with your face clearly visible. A front-facing portrait with good lighting will give the best results.
Use your uploaded photo as a facial reference. The AI should preserve your exact facial identity, face shape, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, skin tone, and natural facial proportions while recreating the hairstyle, pose, outfit, and black-and-white photography style of the reference image.
Step 2: Prompt
1. Subject and Facial Identity
Using the uploaded reference photo, create an ultra-photorealistic, high-resolution black-and-white lifestyle portrait of the same young man sitting comfortably on a luxurious sofa in a modern indoor setting.
Preserve his exact facial identity, face shape, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, jawline, skin tone, and natural facial proportions. Do not replace his face with another person or modify his recognisable appearance.
2. Hairstyle and Facial Expression
Give him naturally thick, voluminous, slightly messy curly black hair with beautiful textured curls falling casually over his forehead. His hairstyle should look effortlessly stylish, youthful, and natural.
Maintain a neatly groomed light beard and moustache that complement his natural facial features.
Give him a charming, genuine smile with slightly visible teeth. His eyes should look slightly toward the right side of the frame, creating a relaxed, thoughtful, candid expression.
3. Outfit and Accessories
Dress him in a sophisticated, light-grey knitted crew-neck sweater featuring a fine ribbed neckline and realistic wool texture. The sweater should have a comfortable, slightly relaxed fit with visible knitted patterns and natural fabric folds.
Add a classic black wristwatch with a minimalist dial and a dark leather strap on his left wrist.
Keep the styling simple, timeless, and elegant.
4. Pose and Body Language
Position the young man sitting casually on a comfortable upholstered sofa.
- His upper body is slightly leaning backwards against the sofa.
- His left arm is raised and bent comfortably.
- His left hand rests gently against his temple, fingers relaxed.
- His right arm extends naturally along the sofa.
- His shoulders are relaxed.
- His head is slightly tilted.
- His expression is warm, confident, and effortlessly charming.
Capture the feeling of a spontaneous lifestyle photograph rather than a formal studio portrait.
5. Background and Environment
Set the scene inside a beautiful modern living room with a large window featuring dark, elegant window frames.
Include soft natural daylight entering through the window, creating subtle highlights and shadows across the background. Add a comfortable sofa with textured cushions and minimal contemporary interior details.
Keep the background softly out of focus to emphasize the subject's face and hairstyle.
6. Black-and-White Photography Style
Convert the entire photograph into a beautifully balanced monochrome image.
Use rich black tones, luminous whites, and detailed grey midtones. Create cinematic contrast while retaining natural skin texture, realistic hair details, and the intricate knitted texture of the sweater.
Use soft directional window lighting to create gentle highlights on his face, hair, and shoulders, with naturally defined shadows around his jawline.
7. Camera and Photography Details
Capture using professional portrait photography with an 85mm lens aesthetic, shallow depth of field, precise facial focus, subtle film grain, high dynamic range, and classic black-and-white editorial color grading.
The final image should resemble a timeless celebrity-style lifestyle photoshoot with an authentic candid atmosphere.
8. Composition and Image Quality

- Medium close-up framing from the chest upward.
- Face positioned prominently near the center.
- Curly hairstyle clearly visible.
- Left hand resting naturally against the temple.
