Generate a photorealistic image of the person in the attached photo. Preserve their exact facial likeness.
Show the person in a close-up three-quarter-profile portrait, head turned slightly to the side and gaze directed downward. Give them a serious, intense, confident expression, with lips slightly parted and chin slightly tucked. Frame the image from the head to the shoulders.
Dress them in a black leather trench coat with a visible, high stiff collar and realistic leather texture with subtle reflections. Add iconic narrow black oval sunglasses with a thin silver metal frame, dark opaque black lenses with faint green reflections, and glasses sitting low on the bridge of the nose.
Use dramatic cinematic lighting, with a strong green neon key light illuminating the left side of the face and creating sharp highlights on the forehead, nose bridge, cheekbone, and chin. Keep the right side of the face in deep shadow. Translate the painted digital-glitch effect into subtle green light reflections and faint digital noise on the skin. Do not include actual paint texture; keep the skin realistic.
Set the portrait against a dark, moody background filled with falling Matrix digital-rain code: vertical streams of small glowing green characters, symbols, and numbers, out of focus and blurred into green-code bokeh. Use a dark teal and black virtual-space environment, with the background slightly blurred to keep the subject in focus.
Use tight close-up framing from the chest up, a slight low angle, and shallow depth of field. Keep the subject in sharp focus and the code rain slightly blurred. Position the subject slightly off-center, leaving negative space on the left where the code falls.
Use a dominant palette of black, deep Matrix green (#00FF41), and dark teal. Create a cold, cyberpunk, high-contrast, low-key, mysterious, powerful cinematic atmosphere with a neo-noir science-fiction mood.
Photorealistic, ultra-detailed, 8K, hyperrealistic skin texture with visible pores, realistic leather, sharp focus on the eyes behind the sunglasses, cinematic color grading, volumetric green glow. Shot on Canon EOS R5 with an 85mm portrait lens, f/1.4, ISO 400, dramatic studio lighting --style raw
