Cinematic Matchstick Portrait

Written for ChatGPT. Results and reference-photo support may differ across models.

The complete prompt

A cinematic, ultra-realistic close-up side-profile portrait of a stylish young man with messy, naturally curly black hair and a well-groomed beard, wearing black rectangular sunglasses and a small hoop earring. He is holding a lit matchstick between his lips, with his head slightly tilted upward and his gaze directed sideways, conveying a calm, confident, and intense expression. Match the exact pose, angle, and composition of the reference image, captured from a slightly low side angle.

He is wearing a sleek black blazer/jacket, with no hands visible in the frame. The background is a solid warm orange studio backdrop with dramatic two-tone cinematic lighting: a warm orange key light from the rear/side and a subtle cool blue rim light illuminating the face and neck, creating striking color contrast and a moody editorial atmosphere.

The small flame from the matchstick casts a subtle, realistic warm glow across the lower face. Preserve highly detailed natural skin texture, individual hair strands, realistic beard texture, authentic shadows and highlights, and physically believable lighting.

Use a shallow depth of field with soft film-like grain, high-contrast cinematic color grading, rich tonal depth, and a professional DSLR/telephoto lens aesthetic, approximately 85mm. Premium editorial fashion photography, photorealistic, ultra-detailed, natural proportions, realistic textures, cinematic atmosphere, high-end studio photography, 4K quality.
