FACE MATCH IS THE TOP PRIORITY. This is the exact woman in the attached reference photo - not a lookalike. Copy the reference face feature by feature - hairline, hair, brows, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, jawline, skin tone - every proportion identical, so anyone who knows her recognises her instantly; do not beautify, broaden or genericise. From the reference keep only the face and hair.

MONOCHROME: true black-and-white, honest grain. A projector beam from behind camera-left cuts through thin haze - the haze kept off her face - rimming her shoulder, jaw and hair in hard silver; a soft frontal lamp low camera-right is the face light, lifting her face brightest with clear catchlights while the beam stays the drama. She stands in a dark shirt, three-quarter to the lens. Expression: quiet menace worn lightly, eyes level. One thumb hooked at her pocket, the hand relaxed, fingers countable, the other arm loose. True skin texture, a real photograph. 50mm, waist-up, vertical 3:4. Only this one person. No text anywhere.

LIGHT LAW: the face is lit only by this scene's own light - same direction, same colour temperature, same softness, with shadows falling exactly as the environment dictates - never a pasted studio face.

FINAL CHECK: compare the face against the attached reference - the identity must match exactly; if any feature differs from the reference, it is wrong.

The monochrome palette and the honest grain reflect authenticity, giving the image depth and emotion.

How to use this prompt

Supply a clear reference photo of the woman, ensuring her features are clearly visible. The prompt expects a vertical 3:4 aspect ratio and a waist-up framing. If the likeness isn't accurate, adjust the reference to ensure all facial features align correctly, focusing particularly on proportions and textures in the skin.
