PROMPT — Copy & Paste (Replace [VARIABLES])
PRESENT × FUTURE split-portrait poster of [NAME].
IDENTITY LOCK (100% match to reference photo): [IDENTITY_DETAILS].
Preserve exact face structure, eye color and shape, eyebrow arch, nose
geometry, lip shape, smile signature, cheekbones, jawline, skin tone,
and clothing from the reference. The person must be unmistakably
recognizable as the same individual.
COMPOSITION: vertical 4:5 magazine-cover poster, tight head-and-shoulders,
face fills ~70% of frame, perfectly centered. ONE single seamless face
split conceptually into two halves:
- LEFT HALF = PRESENT, age [PRESENT_AGE], matching the reference today.
- RIGHT HALF = FUTURE, age [FUTURE_AGE], the same person aged ~40 years older.
BACKGROUND: pure pitch-black void, absolute black, no texture, no gradient.
LIGHTING: dramatic cinematic studio lighting, warm golden rim light from
the right side, soft fill on the left, deep shadow falloff, warm golden
tone on skin. Identical lighting temperature and intensity across both
halves.
═══ CRITICAL SYMMETRY RULES ═══
(1) HAIR & BEARD STRUCTURAL SYMMETRY:
Both halves must have the EXACT same hair length, hairline, density,
volume, texture, and styling. Both halves must have the EXACT same
beard/stubble length, shape, and coverage. ONLY THE COLOR DIFFERS:
- Left = natural dark/original color from reference.
- Right = fully silver-gray-white.
DO NOT add hair on the aged side if bald. DO NOT remove or shorten the
beard on the aged side. DO NOT make the aged side bald. The shape is
locked – only pigmentation changes.
(2) ABSOLUTE MOUTH & SMILE SYMMETRY (one mouth shared by one face):
(a) Upper lip shape, thickness and curve IDENTICAL on both halves.
(b) Lower lip same vertical position, thickness, tension and color.
(c) Mouth opening gap has the exact same width and height.
(d) Upper teeth visible in exactly the same amount, shape and whiteness.
(e) Lower teeth (or absence) identical on both sides.
(f) Mouth corners at the exact same height and angle, with the same
smile crinkle.
(g) Nasolabial pull from the smile starts at the same height and depth
on both halves.
The smile is ONE smile, on ONE face.
(3) SEAMLESS INVISIBLE BLEND:
NO vertical line. NO black line. NO dark seam. NO hard edge. NO divider
of any kind. The transition between present and future happens via an
INVISIBLE soft gradient spread across 10–15% of the face width. The
forehead is ONE forehead, the nose is ONE nose, the lips are ONE pair
of lips, the chin is ONE chin, the neck is ONE neck, the hair is ONE
hairline, the beard is ONE beard – continuous, unbroken, anatomically
whole. A viewer should perceive a single face that gradually ages from
left to right.
═══ DRAMATIC AGE CONTRAST (must be unmistakable at first glance) ═══
LEFT HALF – PRESENT ([PRESENT_AGE]):
Smooth youthful skin, no wrinkles, no age spots, firm jawline, vibrant
solid dark hair, solid dark beard, bright clear young eyes, plump
defined lips, healthy taut neck.
RIGHT HALF – FUTURE (+40 years, age [FUTURE_AGE]):
Deep horizontal forehead wrinkles, very deep crow's feet, very deep
nasolabial fold, pronounced marionette lines, vertical lip lines,
sagging cheek with visible jowl, loose crepey neck with horizontal
bands, many age spots and liver spots, heavy hooded drooping eyelid,
dry thin papery skin with enlarged pores, under-eye hollowing, bushy
elderly eyebrow with silver-white hairs, hair FULLY silver-gray-white,
beard FULLY silver-gray-white, thinner paler lips, gaunt cheekbone.
═══ REFERENCE CARD (MANDATORY – 7 specifications) ═══
Place a small reference card in the BOTTOM-RIGHT portion of the portrait:
(a) CONTENT: a PIXEL-PERFECT EXACT COPY of the uploaded reference photo.
DO NOT regenerate, restyle, modify, recolor, age, or alter the photo

NOT silver, NOT gray, NOT white, NOT black, NOT metallic chrome.
Thin and elegant.
(c) CORNERS: clearly visible ROUNDED corners (not sharp 90° angles).

slightly elevated floating appearance.
(e) ORIENTATION: perfectly horizontal and level, not tilted, not rotated.
(f) SIZE: small and compact, ~12–15% of total image width.
(g) POSITION: bottom-right area of the portrait, with breathing space
from the edges.
