You will perform an image edit using the person from the provided photo as the main subject. Preserve his core likeness. Transform Subject 1 (male) into a solemn Victorian gravedigger standing amidst a sprawling, fog-choked necropolis. He holds a rusted lantern that casts long, uncanny shadows against the moss-covered mausoleums behind him. The composition adheres to a cinematic 1:1 aspect ratio, framing him tightly against the decaying iron gates. Details: Year: 1888 Genre: Gothic Horror Location: An overgrown, crumbling cemetery gate with twisted iron bars and weeping angel statues. Lighting: Pale, cold moonlight cutting through fog; flickering, warm amber candlelight from a lantern; deep, abyssal shadows. Camera angle: Eye-level medium shot, creating a direct and confronting connection with the viewer. Emotion: Foreboding, solitary, melancholic. Color palette: Obsidian black, slate gray, pale moonlight blue, sepia tone, muted moss green. Atmosphere: Eerie, cold, silent, supernatural, decaying. Environmental elements: Swirling ground mist that obscures the feet, twisted dead oak trees silhouetted against the moon, a lone crow perched on a headstone. Subject 1: Costume: a tattered, ankle-length black velvet frock coat, a weathered top hat, and worn leather gloves. Expression: a somber, pale visage with a piercing, weary gaze staring into the darkness. Action: raising a lantern high with the right hand while gripping the handle of a spade with the left. Negative prompt: Exclude visuals: sunlight, blooming flowers, blue sky, modern infrastructure, smiling, lens flare. Exclude styles: cartoon, cyberpunk, high fantasy, anime, watercolor, bright pop art. Exclude colors: neon, pastel pink, vibrant orange, saturated red. Exclude objects: cars, smartphones, plastic, streetlights.
