Create an ultra-realistic, high-resolution cinematic portrait based exactly on the uploaded reference image. Preserve the same male subject’s facial identity, facial features, facial proportions, hairstyle, curly hair texture, skin tone, facial structure, body proportions, pose, expression, clothing, and overall appearance.
The young man is posing in front of a deep black nighttime background, facing directly toward the camera with a subtle, confident smile. His left hand is raised beside his face, with his fingers naturally resting near his cheek. His other arm is positioned casually downward/outward.
He has thick, dense, naturally curly black hair with clearly defined curls and a rounded voluminous shape. Preserve the exact hairstyle and hair texture from the reference. His face has a clean, youthful appearance with natural skin texture, defined eyebrows, dark eyes, a straight nose, naturally shaped lips, and subtle facial definition.
He is wearing a loose-fitting blue-and-white patterned button-down shirt, featuring an intricate traditional geometric/abstract print. The shirt is partially unbuttoned near the upper chest, with natural fabric folds and realistic cotton texture. Keep the exact pattern, colors, collar style, and fit from the reference.
