# Dark Studio Portrait

Use the packaged runner and exact prompt. Do not call Replicate separately or
create another render path.

Ask one short question:

> Which portrait should I turn into a Dark Studio Portrait?

Then run:

```bash
npm run format:skai-image -- init --format=dark-studio-portrait --run=<id> --input=<absolute-image-path>
npm run format:skai-image -- validate --format=dark-studio-portrait --run=<id>
npm run format:skai-image -- estimate --format=dark-studio-portrait --run=<id>
npm run format:skai-image -- render --format=dark-studio-portrait --run=<id> --approve-paid
npm run format:skai-image -- inspect --format=dark-studio-portrait --run=<id>
npm run format:skai-image -- inspect --format=dark-studio-portrait --run=<id> --visual-pass --review-notes="<specific observations>"
npm run format:skai-image -- finalize --format=dark-studio-portrait --run=<id> --approve-final
```

Hard rules:

- Preserve the source identity.
- Keep the exact gathered prompt unless the user explicitly requests a change.
- Use Nano Banana 2 by default, Lite for economy, Pro for premium, or GPT Image 2 for the creator's source route.
- Validate before spending and never render without `--approve-paid`.
- Persist and resume the prediction id.
- Never exceed three attempts.
- View the output and record specific visual-review notes before finalizing.
- Never print, store, or commit `REPLICATE_API_TOKEN`.

Ultra-realistic cinematic black-and-white portrait of the subject in a formal black suit and tie, captured in a dark minimalist studio. The subject is slightly off-center, facing forward with a calm, serious expression and soft eye focus. Dramatic low-key lighting with a strong overhead/back light creates a glowing rim light around hair and silhouette, while the face fades into deep shadow. High contrast with smooth falloff into darkness builds a moody atmosphere. Apply heavy film grain and high ISO noise (3200–6400) for a raw analog feel. Add slight softness, subtle blur, and faint highlight bloom. Natural skin texture with visible pores. Monochrome grading with crushed blacks, soft highlights, and shallow depth of field (50mm, f/1.8).
