Convert my photo into a black-and-white editorial portrait. Single hard key light from the side, deep shadow on the opposite cheek, no fill — full Rembrandt modelling with a clear triangle of light under the eye. Plain dark background. Rich tonal range: true blacks, protected highlights, all the mid-tone detail in the skin held. Deliberate, still expression, eyes to camera. Fine 400-speed film grain throughout. Square-on framing, head-and-shoulders. Keep my face, bone structure, natural skin tone and identity exactly as they are in my photo — change the styling around me, never who I am. The result must read as a real photograph: natural skin texture with visible pores, believable light direction and shadow falloff, correct anatomy and hands.
“Use it” opens the editor with this prompt already loaded — add your photo and generate. Copy works anywhere else: ChatGPT, Gemini, Midjourney.
Ask for a specific film if you want a specific look — 'Tri-X grain' behaves differently from 'HP5'.
