# MINIMALIST NOIR — THE BLACK LEATHER MIRROR SELFIE

Create an exceptionally photorealistic, high-end casual fashion portrait of the adult man in the attached face reference, captured as a natural mirror selfie in a minimalist indoor setting. The image should look like an authentic photograph taken with a modern smartphone, featuring realistic skin texture, natural proportions, understated styling, and soft ambient lighting.

The overall aesthetic is effortlessly handsome, masculine, minimalist, slightly moody, and contemporary, resembling an understated Korean street-fashion editorial rather than a heavily styled studio photoshoot.

## 1. Identity preservation — absolute priority

Use the attached face reference (${face-reference}) as the sole identity reference for the subject.

Preserve his recognizable facial identity, natural face shape, eyes, eyebrows, nose, lips, jawline, skin tone, and defining facial characteristics. The result must clearly resemble the person in the uploaded face reference, not a randomly generated model.

Maintain realistic facial proportions and natural asymmetry. Do not excessively beautify, reshape, or smooth the face.

The subject is an adult man with a calm, composed, subtly confident presence.

## 2. Hairstyle and grooming

Style the subject's hair in a natural, effortlessly polished Korean-inspired hairstyle.

The hair is black, medium-short, and moderately thick, with a soft, voluminous shape. It is parted loosely near the center, with the front sections swept outward and backward to create a relaxed, curtain-like silhouette. A few fine strands fall naturally toward the forehead, adding an understated, slightly messy appearance.

The sides are neatly shaped but not aggressively faded. The top retains natural volume, soft movement, and individual strands visible under the ambient light.

The hairstyle should look casually arranged rather than stiff or excessively styled.

Facial hair should remain consistent with the attached identity reference. If the reference shows a clean-shaven face, preserve that appearance.

## 3. Glasses and facial details

The subject wears black rectangular eyeglasses with a moderately thick, glossy black frame. The glasses have a classic rectangular silhouette with gently rounded corners, a defined black bridge connecting the lenses, slim dark temples extending naturally toward the ears, subtle reflections from the room lighting, and clear lenses that allow the eyes to remain visible.

The glasses should sit naturally on the bridge of the nose, following the subject's facial proportions. Avoid oversized frames or exaggerated reflections that obscure the eyes.

His expression is relaxed and neutral, with softly closed lips and a subtle hint of confidence. His gaze is directed toward his smartphone screen or reflected image in the mirror, rather than directly toward the viewer.

## 4. Outfit — black leather jacket

The subject wears a premium black leather jacket layered over a plain black top.

The jacket has an oversized, relaxed-fit silhouette; smooth black leather with a subtle semi-gloss finish; broad, structured lapels framing the neck and upper chest; a slightly dropped shoulder line; long sleeves with thick, ribbed black knit cuffs; and a visible metallic front zipper running vertically down the torso. Include natural creases and folds around the elbows, shoulders, and chest, soft highlights that reveal the leather's texture and construction, and a slightly boxy shape that creates a contemporary masculine silhouette.

The leather should look like real premium leather, with a combination of smooth reflective areas and darker matte sections. Avoid a plastic, rubbery, or excessively shiny appearance.

The jacket is worn casually, partially open at the front, revealing a simple black crew-neck shirt underneath. The shirt is solid black, made of soft cotton, and has a minimalist design with no visible graphics or logos. Include natural folds around the neckline and chest.

The outfit should feel understated, expensive, and effortlessly fashionable, without unnecessary accessories or decorative embellishments.

## 5. Pose and body position

The subject is standing in front of a large mirror, taking a casual selfie with a smartphone held vertically in one hand.

His upper body is angled very slightly toward the mirror, creating a relaxed, natural posture rather than a rigid, straight-on pose. His head is tilted subtly to one side, with his chin in a natural, neutral position. His shoulders are relaxed, and his body language feels calm and unforced.

One hand holds a black smartphone vertically in front of the upper chest and lower-right portion of the face from the viewer's perspective. Position the phone slightly to one side of the face, partially covering the cheek and jaw area without completely obscuring his identity. His fingers wrap naturally around the phone's edges and back; the thumb and fingertips are visible in believable positions.

The smartphone has a dark protective case and a prominent multi-camera module on the rear. Its rear surface faces the mirror so the viewer can see the camera module. It should look like a realistic modern premium device, without visible branding or readable logos.

His free arm remains relaxed and mostly outside the main visual focus. The pose should feel like a genuine mirror selfie taken casually before going out, not a professionally directed fashion pose.

## 6. Camera angle and composition

Use a vertical 3:4 aspect ratio. Create a medium close-up mirror selfie, framed from approximately the waist or lower torso to slightly above the head.

The subject occupies most of the frame, with his face near the upper-central region. His shoulders and black leather jacket dominate the lower half of the composition. The smartphone overlaps part of the face and chest, creating the authentic visual layering characteristic of mirror selfies.

The camera perspective should resemble a modern smartphone's main camera or a natural portrait-oriented phone photograph. Use a realistic perspective without exaggerated wide-angle distortion.

The framing should feel slightly informal and intimate, as though the photograph was captured spontaneously in front of a bedroom or apartment mirror.

Keep the composition clean and uncluttered. The subject is the clear focal point, with sufficient negative space around the head and shoulders.

## 7. Background and interior environment

Set the scene in a simple, modern indoor room with a large mirror and a plain, warm-gray wall. Include a smooth, neutral gray-beige wall with subtle tonal variations, minimal visible architectural details, and a quiet, uncluttered interior. Do not include distracting furniture, decorative objects, posters, artwork, or colorful elements.

The wall should feel like a real apartment interior rather than a studio backdrop. Keep the background slightly soft but recognizable, without excessive artificial blur. The neutral environment should complement the black leather jacket and allow the subject's face, hairstyle, and outfit to stand out naturally.

## 8. Lighting and shadows

Use soft, warm-neutral indoor lighting, resembling ordinary ceiling illumination or a nearby diffused room light.

The lighting should be gentle and slightly directional, creating natural highlights on the forehead, bridge of the nose, cheeks, and hair. Include subtle shadows beneath the jawline, around the neck, beneath the jacket collar, and within the folds of the black leather.

The leather jacket should display delicate, realistic highlights along its shoulders, lapels, and sleeves, emphasizing its material without making it appear excessively glossy.

The face should be evenly exposed while retaining natural dimensionality. Avoid strong beauty lighting, dramatic studio spotlights, or harsh direct flash.

Keep the overall exposure slightly subdued, with rich blacks and soft midtones. Retain visible detail in the dark clothing without lifting the blacks unnaturally.

## 9. Color grading and photographic aesthetic

Use a restrained, neutral color palette dominated by black, charcoal, warm gray, and natural skin tones. The black leather jacket provides the strongest visual contrast against the light gray-beige background.

Maintain natural skin color without excessive orange or pink tones, deep and detailed black clothing, soft warm-neutral highlights, muted background colors, realistic shadow transitions, subtle smartphone-camera grain, natural contrast, and authentic photographic texture.

The final image should resemble an unfiltered or lightly edited mirror selfie with the understated sophistication of contemporary Korean streetwear photography. Avoid excessive cinematic color grading, teal-and-orange effects, artificial glow, or oversaturated colors.

## 10. Skin, material, and realism details

Render the subject with highly realistic skin texture, including visible pores, subtle natural imperfections, delicate under-eye texture, and believable highlights.

The hair should contain individually defined strands rather than appearing as a solid sculpted mass. The eyeglasses must feature realistic reflections, transparent lenses, and accurate frame geometry.

The leather jacket should have convincing material depth, fine creases, realistic stitching, and natural specular reflections. The ribbed cuffs should show individual knit ridges, while the inner shirt should have believable cotton texture and soft fabric folds.

The smartphone, fingers, jacket zipper, and surrounding environment must follow realistic physical proportions and lighting behavior.

The finished photograph must look convincingly photographic at full resolution, without the artificial smoothness or visual inconsistencies commonly associated with generated imagery.
