Ultra-realistic 8K vertical (9:16) close-up portrait of a woman’s face. Preserve all natural facial details — skin texture, eyelashes, lips, and hair strands — with lifelike sharpness. Capture the raw emotion and depth of expression with precision. Pose & Expression Eyes softly closed, head tilted slightly back. Lips parted gently, conveying an intense, emotional moment of vulnerability, ecstasy, or deep contemplation. Expression is subtle yet powerful, emphasizing natural emotion over dramatization. Hair & Styling Long, voluminous dark curly and wavy hair cascading around her face. Strands of hair frame her cheeks, adding movement and natural flow. No visible outfit — focus is solely on the face, expression, and hair for maximum intimacy. Background & Surroundings Minimalist plain backdrop in solid dark grey to black. Background remains softly blurred to keep all attention on the subject’s face. Clean, cinematic studio feel that highlights emotion without distraction. Lighting Cinematic black and white tonal lighting with strong contrasts. Soft highlights accentuate cheekbones, lips, and eyelids. Gentle shadows add depth and drama, emphasizing skin texture and hair detail. Lighting direction creates mood without overpowering realism. Camera & Optics Extreme close-up, shot as if with a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, 85mm f/1.2 lens. Very shallow depth of field (f/1.4–f/1.8) to blur background while keeping facial details tack sharp. Cropped composition focusing only on head and partial neckline, no distractions. Vertical 9:16 cinematic portrait format. Post-processing Natural RAW finish with monochrome conversion. Fine tonal balance — deep blacks, bright highlights, rich mid-tones. Preserve lifelike skin detail, hair texture, and subtle imperfections for authenticity. No painterly effects, smoothing, filters, or artistic overlays. Final look is a high-detail, photorealistic black & white portrait with cinematic emotional depth. Integration & Constraints Maintain exact realism — no stylization or art filters. No added props, jewelry, or distractions — pure face, hair, and emotion. Avoid distortions, missing features, or surreal effects. Focus is 100% on emotional storytelling through a lifelike portrait.
