The complete prompt
Photorealistic cinematic low-key editorial portrait of a young adult man, recreating the exact visual composition and photographic aesthetic of the reference image. Vertical 3:4 portrait framing, chest-to-waist-up crop, subject positioned centrally but slightly toward the right side of the frame, substantial negative space on the left, head occupying the upper-middle portion of the image, raised hand occupying the lower-center foreground. The man has naturally dark, thick, wavy-to-curly hair with irregular individual strands and subtle highlights, naturally textured skin, dark prominent eyebrows, a medium-width nose, naturally defined lips, subtle moustache and short beard/facial hair, and an authentic unretouched appearance. Preserve the subject's actual facial identity if a face reference is supplied; do not redesign or beautify the facial structure.
His head is angled downward and slightly toward the viewer's left, with a calm, serious, introspective expression. His eyes are largely hidden behind dark rectangular sunglasses with a black frame and lightly reflective dark lenses. His shoulders are relaxed and slightly forward. He wears a simple plain black long-sleeve shirt/top whose dark fabric merges naturally into the surrounding background. One hand is raised in front of the lower face in the same position as the reference, with naturally proportioned fingers and realistic joints. Preserve the visible metallic and dark statement rings and their approximate positions. Replace the smoking-related object with a completely neutral small dark personal accessory while maintaining the original hand position and gesture.
Create a nearly black studio background with no distracting objects, architecture, furniture, text, or scenery. Add subtle translucent atmospheric haze concentrated around the lower face and drifting upward toward the upper-right side, producing the same mysterious layered depth as the reference without depicting tobacco or smoking. The haze should have soft semi-transparent edges and realistic volumetric variation.
Lighting should match a professional dark cinematic portrait: extremely low-key exposure, soft directional key light illuminating the visible facial planes and raised hand from the front-right side, gentle warm highlights on the skin, subtle specular highlights along individual hair strands, very limited fill on the opposite side, deep natural shadows beneath the hair, sunglasses and jawline, and extremely dark clothing/background. Preserve realistic skin pores, tiny natural imperfections, fine facial hair, individual hair strands, realistic hand texture, and physically believable material reflections on the sunglasses and rings.
Use a full-frame professional portrait-camera aesthetic with an approximately 85mm lens, around f/2–f/2.8, shallow depth of field, natural perspective compression, sharp focus primarily on the visible facial region and foreground hand, with atmospheric haze gradually becoming softer toward the background. High dynamic range but natural tonal roll-off, deep blacks without completely destroying important shadow detail, realistic highlight retention, subtle cinematic contrast, restrained saturation, neutral-to-slightly cool shadows and naturally warm skin tones. Premium editorial fashion photography, realistic DSLR/mirrorless rendering, extremely detailed but not artificially sharpened, authentic photographic texture, subtle filmic grain, gentle vignette, no excessive HDR, no plastic skin, no beauty-filter appearance.
The final image should feel like an authentic professionally photographed dark cinematic portrait rather than an AI-generated image. Maintain the exact overall framing, subject scale, head position, hand placement, clothing silhouette, sunglasses style, background darkness, atmospheric placement, tonal balance, and lighting direction of the reference.
