Use the provided reference image of me as the **absolute and exclusive source of identity**. Completely replace Jon Bernthal with my exact likeness while preserving my real facial structure, proportions, skin texture, hairstyle (or baldness), facial symmetry, and all defining facial traits exactly as they appear in the reference image. This must look like: **a cinematic black-and-white editorial portrait of me**, not Jon Bernthal. **STRICT IDENTITY PRESERVATION RULES:** * Do not retain any facial features from Jon Bernthal * Do not alter my real facial proportions or bone structure * Do not invent hair, beard, wrinkles, or facial traits * Preserve my exact identity with maximum realism and consistency * If any written description conflicts with the reference image, the reference image must override everything * Maintain realistic skin pores, asymmetry, subtle imperfections, and natural human detail --- Create a **high-end black-and-white cinematic portrait photograph** with ultra-realistic editorial quality and timeless monochrome aesthetics. ### Composition & Pose * Strict left-facing profile portrait * Tight head-and-shoulders framing * Intimate cinematic crop * Face occupying most of the frame * Strong negative space in front of the profile * Minimal background distractions The image should feel: * introspective * emotionally restrained * cinematic * timeless * psychologically intense --- ### Facial Expression Expression: * Stoic and contemplative * Focused distant gaze * Subtle emotional tension * Relaxed mouth and jaw * Quiet resilience Avoid exaggerated emotion or dramatic acting. --- ### Hair & Facial Detail IMPORTANT: Hair (or baldness) must exactly match my reference image.
