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.
