Prompt
Subject: Use reference image as subject

Pose & Composition
The Subject is captured in a close-up, dramatic portrait, angled in a three-quarter back view looking over the shoulder directly towards the viewer. The perspective is intimate, emphasizing the intense gaze. The Subject is seated in a dark, textured leather armchair, with only the upper back and head visible. The framing is tight, focused on the face and the intersection of light and shadow.

Facial Features & Expression
The Subject has dark, wavy, and wet-look hair, meticulously styled. They wear dark, round-framed sunglasses, partially obscuring the eyes but conveying an enigmatic and serious expression. A full, neatly trimmed beard and mustache frame the lower face. The gaze is sharp and penetrating, piercing through the darkness. The reference face from uploaded reference image is perfectly maintained.

Lighting & Atmosphere
The scene is defined by low-key, high-contrast chiaroscuro lighting. A single, distinct, incandescent desk or floor lamp is visible in the upper right corner, casting a narrow, warm golden spotlight on the Subject's left profile, highlighting the hair texture, the side of the face, the sunglasses, and the white collar. The rest of the scene falls into deep shadow, creating a secretive, film noir atmosphere. Soft light flares from the bulb. The room is dim, with hints of a bookshelf or framed pictures softly blurred in the deep background on the left. The leather chair texture is visible where the light catches it.

Clothing & Attire
The Subject is dressed in a dark, structured blazer, possibly black or very dark charcoal, paired with a crisp white collared shirt that creates a sharp contrast. The collar is turned up slightly. The clothing details are defined where the directional light hits them.

Camera & Photography Style
This is a low-key, professional portrait captured on a full-frame camera with a fast prime lens (e.g., 50mm f/1.4). Natural, fine film grain is visible. The focus is critically sharp on the visible eye through the sunglasses. The style is classic cinematic film noir with rich, deep shadows and carefully placed specular highlights. The color palette is warm-toned and minimal.

Special Instructions
Preserve the subject's identity with absolute fidelity to the reference image, maintaining 100% facial and anatomical likeness. Keep all facial features, expressions, age, ethnicity, skin tone, hair, and unique details such as moles, scars, freckles, and natural asymmetry exactly unchanged. Retain the original body proportions, posture, skeletal structure, muscle distribution, and biometric characteristics without any modifications. Do not beautify, stylize, smooth, age, de-age, or replace the face with a generic AI appearance. Ensure pixel-level structural accuracy with the reference image, making it the highest priority while preserving every defining physical characteristic.
