Create an ultra-realistic, cinematic studio portrait in 8K Ultra HD. Use a vertical 3:4 or 4:5 composition, styled as a premium editorial fashion photograph with a dark, moody atmosphere.
Use the uploaded image as the only facial reference. Strictly preserve the subject’s exact facial structure, skin tone, hairstyle, and natural proportions. Do not beautify, reshape, or artificially smooth the face. Maintain realistic skin texture and masculine facial detail.
Use low-key cinematic studio lighting, with a strong dramatic side rim light outlining the face and hair and minimal frontal light touching the face. Create deep shadows with controlled highlights and a slight volumetric haze for cinematic depth. Keep the background deep black, minimal, and distraction-free, with slight atmospheric haze.
Photograph with an 85mm lens and shallow depth of field. Use a centered cinematic composition and DSLR-quality, ultra-sharp focus. Apply dark, moody cinematic color grading with deep blacks, controlled highlights, slightly cool undertones, and dramatic contrast. Aim for a premium Instagram editorial aesthetic.
Render ultra-detailed skin texture and facial definition, emphasizing the jawline through lighting. Include realistic reflections on sunglasses, fine hair detail, and a soft cinematic glow around highlights. Finish with a clean, professional fashion-magazine look.
Negative prompt: plastic skin, over-smoothing, low detail, cartoon look, harsh HDR, cluttered background, unrealistic lighting, distorted anatomy.
