Create a full-body, ultra-realistic, cinematic studio portrait of a confident man whose facial features exactly match the uploaded reference image, if provided. Do not alter the face in any way. Maintain absolute fidelity to the facial structure, proportions, jawline, cheekbones, nose, lips, eyes, skin texture, hairline, hairstyle, and facial hair exactly as shown in the reference. If the reference image shows no beard or stubble, the subject must be completely clean-shaven. Do not add, enhance, suggest, or stylize any facial hair. No artistic reinterpretation of the face, aging, masculinization, or beautification. Use the uploaded image as a locked identity reference; the face must remain unchanged. The man is seated on a tall, minimalist black stool in a dark, moody studio environment. The background is a clean cinematic gradient transitioning smoothly between deep charcoal gray and muted slate black, with cool, neutral tones and subtle variations that create depth without visible texture. Lighting softly fades from slightly lighter gray around the subject’s upper body to darker, near-black edges toward the corners, creating a subtle vignette. No objects or patterns in the background. Soft, directional lighting comes slightly from above and in front, sculpting only the natural facial features and bone structure exactly as shown in the reference. Pose: relaxed confidence, torso upright, shoulders squared, legs slightly apart, one hand resting naturally on the thigh and the other near the knee. Balanced, composed body language. Expression: serious and introspective, eyes focused straight ahead, lips neutral. Show only the natural skin texture and imperfections visible in the reference image. Wardrobe: a tailored charcoal-gray suit with a slim modern cut, crisp white shirt open at the collar with no tie, sharply pressed trousers, and clean white low-top leather sneakers with minimal branding. The slightly lifted pant leg reveals a bare ankle. Refined, masculine, editorial aesthetic with a monochrome palette of black, white, charcoal, and gray; timeless, controlled, elegant minimalism. Cinematic studio portrait, luxury fashion editorial, ultra-realistic, high detail, soft dramatic lighting, sharp focus. Aspect ratio: 4:5.
