Some Goodbyes Are Silent – Sad Cinematic Portrait

Use the following workflow exactly.

First, before generating anything, ask me in **one single message**:

**“Please upload your photo and tell me what emotion or situation you want this image to express.”**

Do not generate the image until I have provided **both**:

- my photo
- the emotion or situation

If I provide only one, ask only for the missing item.

After receiving both, create a **premium cinematic emotion portrait** using the following composition and design.

### Identity

Use my uploaded photo as the **only and absolute facial identity reference**. Preserve my recognizable facial identity, facial structure, skin tone, hairstyle, hairline, and natural proportions accurately.

My uploaded photo is for **identity only**. Do not copy its pose, crop, body position, head angle, camera angle, lighting, clothing, or background.

Place my identity naturally into the composition described below. The result must look like I was genuinely photographed in this scene, never like a pasted face or face swap.

### Composition

Create a vertical, intimate emotional portrait with the person occupying approximately the **left 45–50% of the frame**.

Frame the subject from roughly the **upper chest/shoulders upward**, with the face positioned in the upper-left to central-left area.

The body should be slightly angled rather than completely square to the camera.

Keep the head gently tilted downward and toward one side, producing a thoughtful, quiet, introspective feeling.

The eyes may look downward, slightly away from the camera, or softly toward the side depending on the requested emotion.

Do not make the person pose dramatically.

Keep the expression subtle and believable.

### Pose Priority

The composition defined in this prompt is the authoritative pose reference.

Do **not** reproduce the pose from my uploaded photo.

Preserve:

- upper-body position
- head placement
- head angle
- gaze direction
- shoulder angle
- crop
- framing
- camera distance
- overall visual balance

Only the emotional mood may subtly influence body language and expression.

### Clothing

Use a simple, elegant, modest, opaque **light neutral top**, such as soft white, cream, or pale beige.

The clothing should be understated and should not compete with the face or caption.

No transparent fabric, revealing styling, deep neckline, exaggerated fashion details, or sexualized presentation.

### Background

Use a very dark, minimal studio-style background transitioning between:

- charcoal gray
- muted black
- subtle smoky gray

Keep the background intentionally plain, soft, and slightly atmospheric.

Avoid recognizable locations, furniture, objects, scenery, patterns, or distracting decorations.

Maintain generous negative space on the **right side of the composition** specifically for the caption.

### Lighting

Use soft, cinematic, directional portrait lighting.

Illuminate the face gently from the front-side/upper-side while allowing the opposite side to fall naturally into shadow.

Keep:

- soft skin highlights
- controlled shadows
- moderate contrast
- natural facial texture
- slightly desaturated tones

The lighting should feel emotional, refined, photographic, and premium rather than glamorous or commercial.

### Emotion Handling

Interpret the emotion or situation I provide and express it through the **entire atmosphere**, not only through facial acting.

Adjust subtly:

- facial expression
- eyes
- body tension
- lighting intensity
- shadow depth
- contrast
- temperature
- color grading
- background mood

For sadness, loneliness, disappointment, reflection, or similar feelings, use a subdued, quiet and somber tone.

Do **not** automatically add tears, crying, extreme grief, shouting, open-mouth distress, or exaggerated facial expressions unless I explicitly request them.

For confidence, healing, hope, determination, peace, anger, frustration, or other emotions, adapt the atmosphere appropriately while maintaining the same core composition.

### Caption

Create **one original emotional saying** based specifically on the emotion or situation I provide.

Do not ask for my name and do not include a person's name in the caption.

The caption should feel:

- emotionally meaningful
- concise
- mature
- relatable
- memorable
- natural rather than cliché

The entire saying must fit within a **maximum of 4 lines**.

Do not write a long paragraph.

### Caption Placement

Place the caption inside the negative space on the **right half of the image**, approximately around the vertical center.

Keep the text block narrow enough that it remains visually separated from the person's face and body.

Use controlled line breaks to create a strong editorial composition.

The caption block should occupy roughly **30–38% of the image width**.

Keep generous breathing room around all sides of the text.

Do not allow the caption to touch the subject, image edges, or crop boundaries.

### Typography

Use elegant editorial typography.

Prefer:

- clean modern sans-serif
- medium or semi-bold weight
- crisp white or soft off-white lettering
- controlled line spacing
- slightly compact tracking
- excellent legibility

Important words may receive very subtle typographic emphasis through weight or size, but avoid multiple fonts, decorative effects, gradients, outlines, neon, glowing letters, or excessive emphasis.

Keep the caption sophisticated and visually integrated with the portrait.

### Visual Style

The final result should resemble a premium emotional editorial photograph designed for inspirational or reflective social-media content.

Aim for:

- photorealistic facial rendering
- authentic skin texture
- cinematic shadow depth
- subdued premium color grading
- minimalist composition
- emotional storytelling
- professional editorial typography
- strong subject/text balance

### Image Quality

Generate at very high resolution with:

- sharp facial details
- realistic eyes
- natural hair strands
- clean skin texture
- believable anatomy
- smooth tonal transitions
- accurate typography
- no compression artifacts

### Strict Negative Constraints

Do not:

- copy the pose from my uploaded portrait
- change my recognizable identity
- paste my face onto another body
- distort facial proportions
- beautify the person beyond recognition
- exaggerate the emotion
- automatically add tears
- make the portrait melodramatic
- create a smiling expression when it contradicts the requested emotion
- crowd the composition
- place text over the face
- place text over the body
- use more than 4 caption lines
- include my name
- invent names
- add random quotations
- add extra text
- add signatures
- add logos
- add watermarks
- add social-media handles
- create spelling errors
- generate gibberish text
- duplicate words
- crop the caption
- place typography outside safe margins
- use flashy graphic effects
- use busy scenery
- use transparent or revealing clothing
- create unnatural hands, anatomy, skin, or facial artifacts

The final image must preserve this exact **subject-left / caption-right emotional portrait template**, while adapting my facial identity and the overall emotional mood to the photo and emotion/situation I provide.
