Create an extremely photorealistic vertical 9:16 black-and-white photograph of a muscular adult Black man, using the second reference image strictly as the facial identity reference. Preserve his recognizable facial features, dark skin tone, eye shape, nose, lips, jawline, subtle facial hair, and distinctive natural afro-textured high-top fade haircut. Do not create a generic face or alter his identity.
Physique and appearance: The man is shirtless, with a powerful athletic physique, broad shoulders, well-developed pectoral muscles, thick arms, defined deltoids, and clearly visible abdominal muscles. Maintain realistic anatomy, natural body proportions, authentic skin texture, and subtle skin imperfections. He wears black athletic pants and a thick silver Cuban-link chain necklace.
Pose and expression: His torso is slightly tilted to one side, creating a relaxed yet powerful pose. His head is turned toward the right side of the frame, with his gaze directed slightly downward and off-camera. His expression is serious, composed, masculine, and confident, with relaxed lips and natural facial tension. His posture should feel spontaneous rather than artificially posed.
Environment: A minimalist industrial interior with raw concrete walls, large vertical windows, and a softly blurred architectural background. The space should feel modern, understated, and realistic.
Lighting and photography: Soft directional daylight enters through the windows, creating dramatic highlights and deep, natural shadows across his face, shoulders, chest, arms, and abdominal muscles. Use rich monochrome tones, detailed midtones, deep blacks, subtle film grain, and a sophisticated editorial aesthetic. The lighting should emphasize muscle definition without making the physique look artificial.
Composition: Medium close-up portrait framed from the head to the upper hips, with the subject occupying most of the vertical frame. Preserve the original composition, body angle, head orientation, window placement, and concrete background of the first reference image.
Image quality: Professional high-end fitness and men's fashion editorial photography, authentic photographic realism, crisp skin and hair detail, realistic muscle definition, natural depth of field, subtle imperfections, and refined black-and-white contrast.
Negative prompt: Generic face, altered identity, straightened or different hairstyle, exaggerated muscles, unrealistic anatomy, artificial skin, plastic texture, excessive sharpening, beauty filter, CGI, 3D rendering, oversaturated contrast, unnatural pose, distorted hands, extra fingers, blurry facial features, text, watermark, or logos.
