A young man golden sunlight cuts across his face

The complete prompt
Create a highly photorealistic, premium cinematic portrait of ME, using my uploaded personal photo as the ONLY and mandatory identity reference for the main human subject.
A moody, cinematic close-up portrait of a young man with tousled, wavy dark brown hair falling over his forehead, a thin mustache and a light, patchy goatee. He tilts his chin up slightly and gazes off-camera with calm, intense, soulful eyes. He wears small gold hoop earrings in both ears, a delicate thin gold chain necklace, and a light blue and white pinstriped button-down shirt with the collar open and slightly askew. A hard beam of warm golden sunlight cuts across his face and chest, creating dramatic chiaroscuro with deep shadows on one side and a bright glow on the other. The background is dark and out of focus. Vertical 9:16 framing, shallow depth of field, high contrast, warm amber highlights, natural skin texture with visible pores, fine grain, editorial fashion photography, professional portrait lens, brooding and artistic mood.
Tips for better results:
Add "photorealistic, ultra-detailed, dramatic window light, chiaroscuro" to lock in the light-and-shadow look.
Use "portrait orientation, 9:16" in ChatGPT, or "--ar 9:16" in Midjourney.
Keep "hard sunlight beam across face" and "dark background" explicit so the lighting comes out right.Copy the complete prompt and use your own reference photos where requested.
