Neo-Noir Urban Night Portrait with Face Preservation

Description

A highly detailed JSON prompt for generating a moody, cinematic portrait in a neon-lit urban alleyway. It mandates precise preservation of the subject's face and hair from a reference image, depicting them crouching in street-style clothing under harsh overhead light, with strong light bloom and analog film grain effects.
