IDENTITY PRESERVATION INSTRUCTION:
Using the uploaded photo as reference, preserve the person's exact facial features, face shape, eye color, skin tone, and unique characteristics while applying the Dark Academia aesthetic transformation. Maintain the original facial structure, expressions, and identifiable traits throughout the style change.

TRANSFORMATION DESCRIPTION:
Transform the photo into a Dark Academia style portrait. The subject should be dressed in classic academic attire: a fitted tweed blazer, crisp white button-down shirt, dark turtleneck sweater, or vintage-inspired dress with high collar. Add subtle period-appropriate accessories like a pocket watch chain, wire-rimmed glasses, or a leather-bound book. The overall mood should be intellectual, mysterious, and nostalgic.

STYLE AND AESTHETIC PARAMETERS:
- Art style: Photorealistic with cinematic quality, maintaining realistic skin texture and facial details while applying the aesthetic overlay
- Lighting conditions: Dramatic, moody lighting with warm candlelight or golden hour window light creating soft shadows and highlights on the face. Consider rim lighting from a window or desk lamp
- Color palette: Rich, muted earth tones - deep browns, warm burgundy, forest green, charcoal gray, cream, and antique gold. Colors should be desaturated but warm, avoiding bright or neon tones
- Atmosphere: Vintage, academic, slightly melancholic yet sophisticated
- Background: Dark wood library shelves, antique study room with leather armchairs, gothic university hallway, or candlelit reading room. Background should be softly blurred (bokeh effect) to keep focus on the face
- Textures: Velvet, tweed, aged paper, leather, wood grain - all should appear realistic and tactile

TECHNICAL QUALITY PARAMETERS:
- High resolution, 4K, detailed
- Sharp focus on face and eyes
- Professional quality portrait photography
- Natural skin texture preservation with realistic pores and subtle imperfections
- Cinematic depth of field with subject sharply in focus and background softly blurred
- Aspect ratio: 1:1 (square) for social media or 4:5 for portrait orientation
- Consistent lighting across face and clothing
- No visible artifacts or AI generation flaws

NEGATIVE PROMPT GUIDANCE:
Avoid: distorted features, unrealistic proportions, blurry face, loss of likeness, unnatural skin smoothing, over-saturated colors, modern clothing elements, bright fluorescent lighting, cartoonish or anime style, excessive filters that obscure facial features, mismatched lighting between face and background, plastic-looking skin texture, unnatural color grading

ADDITIONAL TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS:
- For more dramatic effect, specify "candlelight portrait" or "library window lighting"
- To emphasize specific elements, mention "wearing a tweed blazer" or "holding an antique book"
- For background preference, add "in a dark wood-paneled library" or "by a gothic arched window"
- Specify time of day: "golden hour" for warmer tones or "overcast day" for cooler, muted tones
