Create an artistic, fragmented black-and-white portrait collage based on the uploaded reference photo. Maintain the subject's easily recognizable facial identity, natural facial features, hairstyle, beard, glasses, and realistic skin texture.

COMPOSITION: Create a large frontal portrait of a man wearing a suit, surrounded by several overlapping rectangular photographic fragments of the same face from various angles: left profile, right profile, close-ups of the eyes, forehead, nose, mouth, beard, cheeks, and hair. Arrange the fragments in an irregular geometric mosaic, with varying rectangle sizes, slightly misaligned edges, layered photographic panels, and subtle physical depth. Some fragments should overlap the face in the center, creating a complex yet visually balanced composition.

VISUAL STYLE: Fine art analog photography, monochrome black-and-white, vintage photographic prints, experimental portrait collage, avant-garde editorial art, surreal fragmented identities, contemporary gallery artwork, fine photocopy grain, authentic film textures, realistic facial details, soft tonal transitions, high contrast around the eyes and beard.

BACKGROUND: Use a minimalist studio backdrop in off-white or light gray, with clean negative space and a simple gallery aesthetic. Add subtle natural shadows beneath overlapping photo fragments so the layers appear cut out and attached to the paper.

LIGHTING & DETAIL: Soft, diffused studio lighting, detailed hair strands, visible pores, realistic beard texture, sharp eyes behind glasses, deep blacks, subtle silver-gray highlights, natural photographic imperfections.

CAMERA & FORMAT: Straight-on composition, centered portrait, close-up framing, vertical poster layout, highly detailed high-resolution photography, 4:5 aspect ratio.

NEGATIVE EXAMPLES: Color photography, colorful elements, painterly illustrations, cartoons, anime, 3D rendering, plastic skin, beauty filters, soft artificial faces, distorted eyes, facial features duplicated in individual fragments, floating random pieces, excessive fragmentation, illegible text, logos, watermarks, decorative borders, blurred details.

The final image should look like a sophisticated hand-drawn photographic collage displayed in a contemporary art gallery, with the face reconstructed from overlapping black-and-white photographic fragments.
