Photo-to-Video Identity Lock

A refined, production-ready prompt optimized for photo-to-video models designed to preserve strict identity consistency while applying cinematic motion and lighting.

1. 1Reference & IdentityUse the uploaded portrait as the ONLY identity reference. Preserve the exact facial structure, eyes, iris size, eyelids, eyelashes, eyebrows, nose bridge, nose shape, lips, jawline, cheeks, forehead, hairline, skin tone, facial proportions, natural skin texture, and all recognizable details. Do not beautify, reshape, retouch, age, de-age, or alter the face.
2. 2Composition & FramingCreate an ultra-realistic cinematic extreme close-up of the eyes and upper nose bridge. Match the reference framing, perspective, camera distance, crop, and eye position. Use a horizontal 16:9 composition with direct eye contact.
3. 3Hair DetailsPreserve the messy black hairstyle. Individual strands naturally fall over the forehead and partially cover the eyes. Hair should move subtly and realistically.
4. 4Motion & Timing (5–8s)Very slow cinematic camera push-in, natural breathing, one or two subtle realistic blinks, tiny eye movements, minimal facial micro-movements, gentle natural hair movement, and no sudden motion.
5. 5Lighting & RealismSoft, moody, low-key cinematic lighting. Gentle shadows, realistic pores and skin texture, muted colors, shallow depth of field, subtle film grain, natural highlights, photorealistic eyes and hair, professional cinema-camera appearance, 4K detail.
