Heavy_metal_editorial_portrait (image)

Create ONE ultra-photorealistic vertical 9:16 photograph with the look of a men's editorial inspired by authentic 1980s and 1990s heavy metal. Convey an underground atmosphere, stage presence, and rockstar attitude. The result should look like a professional photograph taken backstage at a metal show, with intense cinematic lighting, vivid warm colors, deep shadows, and realistic detail.

IDENTITY — ABSOLUTE PRIORITY
Use only the attached original personal photograph as the reference for the adult man's facial and bodily identity. Strictly preserve his natural face shape and width, jaw, chin, eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth, lips, beard or lack of beard, skin tone and texture, apparent age, and individual features. Preserve his body structure, shoulders, chest, abdomen, arms, height, and real proportions. Do not slim him, make him thinner, add muscles, artificially define his abdomen, lengthen his legs, make him taller, or beautify or otherwise alter his face or body. Preserve his natural hair color, length, and texture. Adapt the hairstyle to the concept without inventing long hair, a beard, or traits he does not have. The reference determines the man's identity; the concept determines only the artistic styling.

WARDROBE — AUTHENTIC HEAVY METAL
Dress him in a heavy black cotton tank top with an irregular neckline and a worn graphic of a fictional heavy metal band. The artwork should use aged silver and deep red and contain no legible words. Layer over it an open, heavy black leather biker jacket, slightly slipped off one shoulder, with silver studs, sturdy zippers, metal buckles, and a worn finish. Add black leather pants that fit his original body naturally, with textured panels, a wide leather belt with metal eyelets, and discreet silver chains hanging from the waist. Add robust black leather combat boots with thick soles, buckles, and metal details. The outfit should convey authentic heavy metal, influenced by classic band musicians and vocalists, not casual urban fashion. Do not include athletic sneakers, loose cargo pants, or modern streetwear.

ACCESSORIES
Add a black bandana with a subtle white pattern, tied naturally on his head while respecting his original hair length. Include aged silver chains of different weights, a metal cross pendant, wide studded leather bracelets, and substantial rings. Add a double leather belt with metal buckles and ring details. Keep the accessories authentic, striking, and balanced, without a fantastical excess.

MAKEUP — METAL ROCKSTAR
Apply men's makeup inspired by 1980s and 1990s heavy metal vocalists. Intensely line the eyes with black pencil and blend graphite and deep black around the lids and lower lash line. Give it a slightly worn finish, as if it has been worn during a show. Keep skin texture natural, with a subtle sheen from the warm environment and facial contours preserved. Keep the lips natural, without colored lipstick. The makeup must be clearly visible and give him an intense, dark, magnetic gaze without changing his facial identity.

HAIR AND EXPRESSION
Keep his original hair, with natural texture and movement. If his hair is long, let it fall loose with subtle movement. If it is short, preserve the cut and adapt only the styling. Give him a serious, confident, slightly challenging expression. He looks directly at the camera, with his head subtly tilted and lips relaxed. His presence should feel strong, natural, and masculine, not theatrically exaggerated.

POSE AND FRAMING
Show the man crouching on a worn concrete sidewalk, one knee raised and the other bent. Rest one forearm on the raised knee, showing the leather bracelets and metal rings; place the other hand near the ground. His posture is firm, relaxed, and dominant, like a candid moment captured after a show. Position the camera slightly below eye level while preserving natural proportions and avoiding distortion. Use a vertical 9:16 frame showing him from head to combat boots.

SETTING — UNDERGROUND METAL
Place him in a narrow alley behind a heavy metal venue. Include darkened brick walls, aged concrete, black iron gates, industrial railings, metal pipes, and weathered surfaces. Create a nighttime atmosphere with light haze and warm reflections on metal. Keep the setting dark, textured, and cinematic, conveying the energy of an underground show's backstage area. Do not include words, phrases, signs, plaques, written posters, logos, lettered graffiti, crowns, royal symbols, or conspicuous wall illustrations. Keep the background visually free of graphic elements so the man and lighting remain the focus.

LIGHTING — VISUAL PRIORITY
Use dramatic, warm cinematic night photography. A strong amber side light illuminates his face, hair, and leather with golden and copper reflections. Add a deep blood-red backlight to create a luminous edge along his hair, shoulders, and jacket. Use dense shadows, deep blacks, and high contrast while retaining visible detail in dark areas. Add controlled direct flash to emphasize his face, makeup, chains, studs, and realistic skin texture. Keep colors rich, warm, and saturated, not washed out, grayish, dull, or excessively desaturated. The atmosphere should be dark while the highlights remain bright. Preserve his natural skin tone; do not make it artificially orange or red.

FINISH
Use ultra-photorealism, professional sharpness, natural skin texture, and physically realistic reflections on leather and metal accessories. The image should read as a men's heavy metal editorial photograph with underground-show energy, rockstar attitude, and dark glamour. Do not create medieval gothic fantasy, a Halloween costume, cyberpunk styling, cosplay, or an artificial-looking image. Add a small, discreet yellow watermark in the lower corner with this exact text:
