Create an ultra-photorealistic cinematic editorial photograph of an exceptionally handsome male CEO in his private executive office, looking mentally exhausted, stressed, bored, and completely fed up with work, while still appearing effortlessly attractive, masculine, and charismatic.

IDENTITY & APPEARANCE: Use the provided reference image to preserve the subject's exact facial identity, facial structure, skin tone, and natural skin texture. Mature, handsome masculine features, realistic proportions, subtle under-eye fatigue, slightly messy hair, and a naturally tired expression. He looks like a successful executive who has been working nonstop all day, not someone pretending to be tired for a photoshoot.

OUTFIT: An expensive but relaxed business outfit: a slightly rumpled white dress shirt with the top two or three buttons undone, collar loose and imperfect, sleeves rolled up to the forearms, and dark tailored trousers. A loosened dark necktie casually hanging around the collar or no tie at all. Optional luxury wristwatch. His clothes look naturally disheveled after a long day of meetings. No perfectly styled corporate uniform.

POSE & BODY LANGUAGE — EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: He is slouching deeply in a large executive leather chair behind his desk, sitting in a lazy, almost defeated posture. His upper body leans heavily to one side, shoulders dropped, legs casually spread or stretched forward. One elbow rests on the armrest while his hand lazily supports his forehead or rubs his temple. Alternatively, one hand loosely covers part of his face while the other arm hangs limply over the chair's armrest. His head tilts slightly backward or sideways, conveying mental exhaustion, frustration, and boredom. His expression is a subtle combination of a furrowed brow, half-lidded eyes, a faintly annoyed look, and a tired, almost sarcastic expression. He looks like he desperately needs a holiday and cannot stand looking at another spreadsheet. Still naturally handsome, never exaggerated or comical.

OFFICE ENVIRONMENT: A sophisticated private CEO office on a high floor of a modern skyscraper. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking a dense Indonesian metropolitan skyline, contemporary high-rise buildings, and a distant urban landscape. A large executive desk cluttered with scattered documents, an open laptop, printed reports, a half-finished cup of coffee, a smartphone, and a few folders. A blazer casually tossed over another chair. Subtle signs of a long, exhausting workday without making the room excessively messy. Premium leather furniture, dark wood, glass surfaces, and understated executive luxury.

CANDID STORYTELLING: Capture an unguarded moment between meetings, as if someone unexpectedly photographed the CEO when he thought nobody was watching. He is not looking at the camera. His gaze is unfocused toward the ceiling, the window, or the paperwork on his desk. His posture communicates that he has completely lost motivation for the day. The scene feels authentic, intimate, and psychologically believable.

CAMERA & COMPOSITION: Cinematic medium-wide editorial portrait, shot from a slightly elevated three-quarter angle, positioned diagonally to one side of the desk. Capture his face, slouched posture, upper body, chair, and enough of the messy desk to tell the story. Natural perspective, imperfect composition, subtle asymmetry, and realistic spatial depth. His face remains recognizable and visually compelling without making the photograph feel like a formal corporate portrait.

LIGHTING & COLOR: Soft natural daylight entering through the large office windows, mixed with subtle warm interior lighting. Muted charcoal, warm brown, cream, and cool grey tones. Gentle shadows under the eyes, realistic skin highlights, low-contrast cinematic grading, restrained saturation, and fine film grain. Late-afternoon atmosphere suggesting a long and exhausting day at the office.

PHOTOGRAPHIC STYLE: High-end cinematic editorial photography, photorealistic skin and fabric textures, professional full-frame camera, 50mm lens aesthetic, natural depth of field, sophisticated composition, authentic facial micro-expressions, realistic lighting, understated luxury, and candid documentary realism.

Vertical 4:5 aspect ratio. Prioritize his lazy posture, handsome tired face, loose white shirt, and the contrast between his luxurious office and his complete lack of energy. He should look like a genuinely exhausted, bored, slightly stressed CEO caught during a private moment, not a model acting professionally for the camera.

NEGATIVE PROMPT: Perfect upright posture, confident power pose, smiling executive, looking directly at the camera, formal corporate headshot, perfectly ironed shirt, overly polished appearance, exaggerated crying, cartoonish frustration, theatrical anger, extreme facial distortion, overly messy hair, dirty clothing, artificial skin smoothing, oversaturated colors, harsh flash, motivational business photography, text, logos, watermark.
