Make person in the picture ultra realistic without changing original facial details.
Body Movement & Pose: The subject stands upright, facing directly toward the camera, with a formal and dignified posture typical of traditional portraiture. The gaze is steady and calm, carrying a hint of melancholy and solemnity. Both arms rest naturally alongside the body, concealed beneath the armor. The pose conveys composure, honor, and quiet strength.
Outfit (Combination of Armor & Kimono): Wearing a traditional samurai armor set (O-yoroi or Do-maru) layered over a kimono.
Armor Details:
Shoulder Guards (Sode): Multi-layered shoulder plates crafted from small interlaced metal scales tied together with dark cords. The surface is engraved and textured with intricate detailing.
Chest Plate (Dou/Do): The main torso armor features raised engravings, rivets, and traditional motifs across its metal plates. On the right side of the chest (from the viewer’s perspective), a plain white Noh mask — possibly Hannya or Onna type — hangs as an ornamental piece.
Lower Armor (Kusazuri): The segmented skirt armor extends downward from the chest plate, composed of engraved metal plates that overlap, protecting the waist and thighs.
Arm Guards (Kote): Both arms are covered with matching armored sleeves, blending seamlessly into the overall suit.
Color & Texture: The armor’s primary tone is aged blackened steel or dark bronze, weathered with time. Subtle accents of faded gold and silver trace its edges, adding richness. The binding cords are dark and muted.
Inner Clothing (Kimono/Kosode): Beneath the armor, a dark navy-blue kimono with delicate white or cream floral patterns is visible around the collar and sleeves. The fabric softens the overall rigidity of the armor, hinting at grace beneath strength. Chest size small to medium (concealed beneath the armor).
Accessories:
Short Sword (Wakizashi/Tanto): A sheathed wakizashi or tanto rests on the left side of the waist, secured in the armor’s belt.
Mood & Atmosphere: The atmosphere is solemn, noble, and introspective — evoking the honor and discipline of a samurai. The mood is calm, serious, and steeped in quiet reverence. The backdrop is a soft cream or pale gray tone, minimalist and pure to highlight the subject.
Camera & Photography Technique:
Camera: Mirrorless Hasselblad X2D 100C.
Lens: Hasselblad XCD 135mm f/2.8 (ideal for detailed portrait compression and clarity).
Aperture: f/4.0 (ensuring sharp detail across the armor and facial features).
Shutter Speed: 1/100s (suitable for a static portrait).
ISO: 100 (maximizing clarity with minimal noise).
Perspective Angle: Eye-level, directly aligned with the subject.
Framing: Medium shot, cropped just above the head and mid-thigh, emphasizing the facial expression and intricate armor craftsmanship.
Focus: Razor-sharp on the eyes, face, and the engraved metal textures, including the mask detail.
Lighting:
Setup: Studio lighting, softly diffused yet directional.
Quality: Soft light creates gentle shadows and subtle gradation across metal and skin tones.
Direction: Key light from the front-right softly illuminates the face and chest armor. A gentle fill from the left softens shadows, while the neutral background reflects light evenly.
Color: Neutral white balance, maintaining authenticity in skin tone and the natural sheen of aged metal.
Composition:
Rules: Strong vertical symmetry emphasizes formality and strength. The centered subject dominates the frame.
Negative Space: A plain cream or pale gray background acts as a clean, balanced backdrop.
Balance: Perfectly symmetrical and stable composition, reinforcing dignity and discipline.
Texture Detail: Every element — engraved armor, woven cords, patterned fabric, and the smooth Noh mask — is sharply rendered.
Wind Direction: No visible wind movement; the subject’s hair is neatly arranged, contributing to the formality of the portrait.
Artistic or Image Effect: Fine art photography focused on historical realism and the aesthetics of traditional Japanese portraiture. The lighting and detail preserve the authenticity of materials — metal, silk, and skin — resulting in a timeless, museum-quality warrior portrait.
Negative Prompts: Not CGI, not anime, not cartoon, not painting, not sketch, not drawing, not illustration, not 3D render, not sculpture, not action figure, not doll, not comic, not vector, not game art, not digital art, not “sexy,” not “sensual,” not “erotic,” not “nude,” not “provocative,” not “explicit.”
