Use the uploaded reference photo as the identity reference and create an ultra-realistic, premium black-and-white editorial portrait while preserving the person’s exact facial identity, natural facial structure, skin tone and texture, hairstyle, grooming, facial hair state, and overall likeness exactly as visible in the uploaded photo. Recreate the same composition, pose, camera angle, framing, lighting style, clothing, accessories, and background described below, naturally depicting the uploaded person as the subject. The result should look like an authentic photograph of that person captured during the original photoshoot—not a face swap, pasted face, or digitally replaced face. The subject is seated and leaning slightly forward, with both forearms resting naturally on a dark wooden table and one arm appearing more prominently in the foreground. The head is positioned naturally above the arms and slightly tilted toward the camera. Maintain direct eye contact with a calm, confident, subtly intense expression. Preserve the person’s natural hairstyle and grooming exactly as shown in the uploaded reference. If the person is clean-shaven, keep them clean-shaven; if they have stubble, a beard, moustache, or other facial hair, preserve its natural pattern, density, length, and texture accurately. Do not add or remove facial hair. Preserve natural eyebrows, lips, eyes, skin details, facial proportions, and distinctive features without artificial beautification. The subject wears a dark textured knitted sweater with realistic fabric texture, subtle folds, and ribbed detailing. Include a minimal, elegant wristwatch positioned naturally on the visible wrist and integrated realistically with the pose. The background is simple, dark, smooth, and studio-like, with subtle tonal gradients and no distracting objects. Use dramatic low-key studio lighting with soft directional light shaping the face and naturally illuminating the eyes, cheekbones, nose, lips, and facial contours while allowing parts of the clothing and background to fall into deep shadow. Add a very subtle edge highlight around the hair and facial silhouette for separation from the background without creating an artificial glow. Create a sophisticated high-end fashion magazine and luxury editorial photography aesthetic with rich monochrome tones, deep blacks, controlled highlights, smooth grayscale transitions, realistic pores, authentic skin texture, tack-sharp eyes, detailed individual hair strands, natural fabric texture, and cinematic depth. Camera and quality: professional full-frame camera look, 85mm portrait lens, approximately f/2–f/2.8, shallow depth of field, precise focus on the eyes and face, realistic natural perspective, cinematic tonal range, subtle optical falloff, high dynamic range, extremely detailed photorealism, premium studio photography, subtle fine film grain, and refined professional retouching while retaining natural skin texture. Composition: vertical 3:4 portrait, close-to-medium framing. The subject occupies most of the frame while maintaining balanced negative space. Preserve the intended head position, arm placement, table perspective, camera distance, and overall visual balance. Avoid overly tight cropping. Identity and realism priority: the finished portrait must clearly remain the same person as the uploaded reference photo. Preserve facial geometry, proportions, distinctive features, hairstyle, grooming, and natural appearance. Do not reshape the face, change age, alter ethnicity, modify body proportions unnecessarily, or excessively beautify the subject. The face, head, neck, body, pose, lighting, and skin tones must integrate naturally as one genuine photograph. Negative prompt: cartoon, anime, illustration, CGI, 3D render, face swap appearance, pasted face, artificial face, altered identity, different person, changed facial structure, excessive beautification, unwanted beard, unwanted stubble, removed facial hair, altered hairstyle, fake hair, distorted face, asymmetrical eyes, unnatural eyes, plastic skin, waxy skin, over-smoothed skin, excessive skin retouching, malformed hands, extra fingers, missing fingers, extra limbs, bad anatomy, distorted arms, deformed wristwatch, blurry face, soft eyes, low resolution, color image, oversaturated tones, harsh flash, blown highlights, crushed facial details, excessive contrast, distracting background, incorrect pose, unnatural posture, incorrect camera angle, duplicate objects, text, watermark, logo.

A dramatic black-and-white editorial portrait of a man photographed in side profile, leaning back against a plain dark wall with his eyes closed and chin tilted upward, as if exhaling in a quiet moment of relief. He wears a crisp white button-up dress shirt with buttoned cuffs, tucked into dark tailored trousers with a slim leather belt. In one hand, he holds an empty glass tumbler with no liquid. A single hard, directional light from the front sculpts his face, neck, and shirt folds with bright highlights, while the rest of the frame falls into deep, velvety shadow. The background is a smooth, minimal dark wall with no other details, creating a moody, high-contrast, cinematic atmosphere. Monochrome photography, portrait orientation, shallow depth of field, sharp focus on the subject. No text, watermark, logo, or captions anywhere in the image.

A black-and-white editorial fashion photograph of the uploaded man standing and leaning against a rough-textured concrete wall with small square windows. He wears a dark oversized linen button-up shirt with rolled sleeves, loose wide-leg dark trousers, and white chunky sneakers. He holds round sunglasses in one hand while keeping the other hand in his pocket, posed with relaxed confidence. Strong natural sunlight casts sharp diagonal shadows and palm-frond shadows across the wall. Cinematic, moody high-contrast monochrome aesthetic, full-body composition, Leica M11, 35mm lens, shallow depth of field, sharp facial details, and subtle grainy film texture.

Create a chest-up studio portrait of a stylish man wearing a plain camel-tan crewneck knit sweater and glossy black round-frame sunglasses. His shoulders are relaxed, with a slight lean toward camera-left; his head is turned about 20°–30° to the left with a subtle upward tilt, and his gaze is directed off-camera to the side. Give him naturally styled hair, a well-groomed appearance, and a composed, confident "aura". Use a seamless warm caramel-to-deep-chocolate-brown studio backdrop with a smooth vignette gradient, brighter behind the head and darker toward the edges. Light the scene with cinematic studio lighting: a strong, soft key light at 45° camera-right and slightly above eye level, minimal fill to keep the shadow side rich, and a subtle rim light from camera-left to separate the hair and shoulder. Add clean specular highlights to the sunglass lenses and frame. Use a refined monochromatic palette of camel, caramel, and dark chocolate brown with natural warm skin tones. Photograph at eye level with a full-frame camera and an 85mm lens at f/2.2. Preserve crisp knit, skin, and hair texture, with shallow depth of field, comfortable headroom, and balanced negative space. Vertical 3:4 composition.

Use the face from the uploaded reference image and preserve the same facial features without altering the face. A well-groomed man sits on a wooden chair with his arms casually crossed over the backrest. He wears a simple black crew-neck T-shirt and square black-framed eyeglasses. His hair is styled naturally, with individually defined strands. He gazes directly at the viewer with a composed, neutral expression. His athletic, well-defined build is visible from the waist up. The background is stark black, emphasizing his face and upper body. Soft, focused lighting creates a high-contrast black-and-white portrait with controlled shadows. Centered composition, formal yet intimate mood, clean modern styling, and a slightly dramatic professional photoshoot aesthetic. Aspect ratio 3:4.
