Create a hyper-realistic cinematic underwater portrait in a 9:16 vertical composition, using my uploaded photograph as the exact facial identity reference. Preserve my real facial structure, facial proportions, eyes, nose, lips, jawline, hairstyle, beard/facial hair, skin tone, and natural likeness with extremely high identity accuracy. Do not beautify, reshape, slim, age, or alter my face. Recreate the same underwater composition, camera angle, pose, lighting, wardrobe, atmosphere, water texture, bubbles, and cinematic color treatment as the reference. SUBJECT & POSE I am completely submerged underwater, floating calmly in a near-vertical position. My head is tilted slightly upward, chin raised naturally toward the water surface. My eyes are gently closed, creating a peaceful, introspective, almost dreamlike expression. My face should communicate calmness, surrender, solitude, and quiet emotion rather than fear or struggle. My dark hair is completely wet and naturally floating outward around my head, with individual strands drifting freely in the water. My upper torso and shoulders are clearly visible, extending toward the lower portion of the frame. WARDROBE I am wearing a loose white/light-gray lightweight button-down shirt, completely soaked and floating naturally underwater. The shirt should appear: semi-translucent because it is saturated with water naturally clinging to parts of the body loose and flowing around the shoulders visibly wrinkled slightly open at the upper chest realistic wet cotton/fabric texture individual fibers visible subtle folds moving with underwater currents The shirt should remain tasteful and naturally photographed. UNDERWATER ENVIRONMENT Place me in clear but atmospheric deep turquoise-blue water. The entire background should consist of open water with subtle variations in blue and cyan, becoming darker toward the lower and distant areas. Above the subject, the water surface should be visible as a soft, luminous region. Fill the upper portion of the image with hundreds of tiny air bubbles rising naturally toward the surface. Include a mixture of: tiny suspended bubbles medium-sized bubbles a few larger bubbles fine particulate matter subtle underwater haze gentle water currents The bubbles should have realistic transparent surfaces and tiny specular highlights. SUNLIGHT & CAUSTICS The defining visual element is natural sunlight penetrating through the water surface. Bright sunlight from above creates intricate moving water-caustic patterns across: forehead cheeks nose closed eyelids beard neck exposed chest white shirt The caustics should appear as delicate, irregular, shimmering networks of bright turquoise-white light, physically consistent with sunlight passing through moving water. Create a beautiful contrast between cool blue ambient water and warm-neutral skin illuminated by refracted sunlight. Include subtle rays of sunlight descending from the surface through the water. CAMERA ANGLE Camera is positioned underwater directly in front of the subject and slightly below face level, looking gently upward toward the face and water surface. Use a wide environmental portrait perspective, approximately equivalent to a 28–35mm full-frame lens. The face should remain naturally proportioned without exaggerated wide-angle distortion. The subject's head and shoulders dominate the central portion of the composition, while the upper frame contains the rising bubbles and illuminated water. COMPOSITION 4:5 vertical portrait. Composition hierarchy: face and closed eyes → wet floating hair → luminous water caustics → translucent wet white shirt → rising bubbles → deep blue underwater background. Keep the face approximately in the upper-middle/central region. Leave enough negative space above the head for the bubbles and shafts of sunlight. The lower portion should gradually become darker and more blue as the light falls off. PHOTOGRAPHY Simulate a professional underwater cinema camera inside a waterproof housing. Use approximately: 30mm lens, f/2.8, 1/500s, ISO 400 Capture extremely detailed skin and fabric while retaining realistic underwater optical characteristics. Include: subtle underwater diffusion realistic refraction natural blue light absorption soft volumetric rays physically accurate caustics slight underwater haze realistic bubble refraction gentle cinematic depth of field subtle film grain high dynamic range soft highlight roll-off The image should look like an authentic photograph captured underwater, not a digitally composited effect. COLOR GRADING Primary palette: deep teal + turquoise + cyan-blue + muted white + natural warm skin tones. Use sophisticated cinematic underwater grading with rich teal shadows and luminous cyan highlights. Keep skin tones believable and avoid turning the entire face blue. The white shirt should retain subtle cool-blue coloration from the surrounding water while still appearing naturally white. REALISM REQUIREMENTS Prioritize extremely realistic: facial identity wet skin beard and hair individual floating hair strands water droplets/bubbles transparent bubbles fabric fibers soaked clothing underwater caustics realistic skin translucency natural underwater light scattering physically accurate shadows authentic lens characteristics Avoid plastic skin, fantasy underwater effects, excessive glow, artificial blue skin, CGI water, unrealistic hair, distorted anatomy, malformed hands, excessive sharpening, or AI-looking textures. The final result should feel like a premium cinematic underwater photograph captured by a professional underwater photographer, emotional, peaceful, mysterious, and intensely photorealistic.
