Avant-Garde Sculptural Fabric Portrait

A highly detailed prompt for generating an avant-garde editorial portrait, requiring the model to lock the facial identity to an uploaded reference image, featuring the subject's head and torso enveloped in massive, intensely pleated emerald green sculptural fabric folds in a minimalist studio setting.

Prompt

Prompt: Preserve their real facial features, bone structure, eye shape, nose shape, lips, and overall facial identity - the face must clearly match the uploaded person. Do not alter age, ethnicity, or facial proportions. Reference image required, face identity lock. A close-up portrait of an uploaded person subject, their torso and head enveloped in massive, voluminous, sculptural fabric folds. The subject faces forward, head tilted slightly downward, looking up directly into the lens with a direct gaze, relaxed jaw, subtly parted lips, and slight tension in lower eyelids. They are surrounded and partially obscured by sweeping layers of structural fabric, which is stiff yet lightweight, intensely pleated and crinkled, holding structural arches, deep crevices, and sweeping folds around them. A few loose strands of hair escape the fabric wrap, resting flat against the cheek. Makeup features a matte, unreflective skin texture. The setting is a minimalist studio with a plain off-white background. The face is framed within an aperture of fabric, offset slightly to the right with negative space on the left. The camera is at eye-level, creating an architectural framing using textile volumes. Soft, directional studio light comes from camera-left, creating gradient shadows within the fabric crevices and gentle modeling on the right side of the face. The mood is sculptural, serene, and editorial. The color palette features deep {argument name="fabric color" default="emerald green"} for the fabric, off-white for the background, and natural skin tones, with high color contrast between the green fabric and light background, and soft tonal contrast on the face. Photographed with a medium format digital camera and an 85mm lens at f/5.6. The face and foreground fabric are sharply in focus, with slight blurring on the furthest background folds. The style is avant-garde editorial portraiture, photorealistic, with minimal film grain. No CGI, no cartoon, no Al glow. Full color.
