Fisheye Gloss Music Video (Style-Only, Image-Conditioned)
Style register: Late-1990s glossy fisheye music-video optics: rounded wide-angle perspective, theatrical color bounce, glossy wet-set light.

The prompt
Re-render this image as a late-1990s fisheye-lensed, saturated-color music-video frame, photographed through a close, wide fisheye lens on a glossy soundstage. Honor the source subject, exact pose, and arrangement; express the lens treatment as gently bowed image edges and enlarged near-field highlights, not as a new pose or a moved camera. Build a broad cobalt-to-violet seamless background using stage gels and a reflective floor that only echoes the existing forms. Paint visible surfaces with a wet-look specular sheen, white key-light beads, electric blue edge light, and a low amber bounce. Any reflective highlights should follow the body or object's true contours, not conceal them. Add a soft optical bloom around the brightest light, a restrained edge vignette, and tiny lens ghosts made by the stage lamps rather than drawn stars. Keep the center crisp enough to read at thumbnail scale while the outer field rolls away into rounded distortion. Use generous saturated color fields instead of distracting props or performance scenery. The mood is joyous artificial excess with precise studio control: the light feels extravagant because every surface was prepared to catch it. Leave a calm, uncluttered band of negative space along the top or bottom edge where a title could sit. Strictly no on-canvas text, no legible lettering, no signature, no watermark, no logos. Preserve the subject, pose, and composition of the source image exactly, change only the medium and rendering. Aspect ratio matches source.
What it is doing
The wide lens makes the near thing feel enormous and intimate at once. The spectacle claims spontaneous presence, but every shine depends on a carefully controlled room.
