## Prompt

```text
Dramatic ultra-photorealistic black-and-white studio fashion portrait of an {subject}, photographed as a premium editorial campaign with a full-frame professional camera. Three-quarter body composition, framed from approximately mid-thigh upward. He stands naturally with confident posture, both hands casually tucked into his trouser pockets, shoulders relaxed, chest subtly open, chin slightly lifted, head turned a little away from the camera. His expression is calm, self-assured, serious, and composed.

He wears round vintage-style sunglasses with realistic dark lenses and thin frames, a perfectly tailored {shirt_type} with the top two or three buttons undone, collar naturally open, sleeves casually rolled to the forearms, shirt neatly tucked into high-quality dark tailored trousers with a simple leather belt and understated metal buckle. Clothing should show authentic fabric texture, natural wrinkles, realistic stitching, subtle folds around the elbows and waist, and physically accurate draping.

Pure seamless black studio background with no visible environment, props, texture, or distractions. Extremely controlled low-key cinematic lighting: one strong directional side light positioned approximately 45 degrees to the subject, creating sculpted bright highlights across the white shirt while allowing the opposite side of the face and body to fall naturally into deep partial shadow. Subtle soft reflected fill only where physically plausible. Strong chiaroscuro, rich blacks, luminous white highlights, smooth tonal transitions, realistic skin texture, natural pores and fine facial detail, subtle facial hair detail, accurate anatomy, realistic hands and fingers.

High-contrast monochrome photography with a refined filmic tonal range, deep blacks without crushed facial detail, clean highlights without excessive clipping, subtle natural film grain, realistic lens rendering, gentle background separation, and authentic photographic imperfections. Sharp focus on the face, sunglasses, and shirt collar with a gradual shallow depth of field toward the lower body. Sophisticated luxury fashion editorial aesthetic, timeless cinematic mood, restrained and elegant rather than theatrical.

Photorealistic skin, physically accurate lighting, realistic shadows, true-to-life proportions, natural posture, premium studio photography, high dynamic range, fine micro-contrast, detailed fabric texture, realistic optical characteristics, {lens} portrait lens look, approximately f/2.8, full-frame camera, high-resolution RAW photography, professionally retouched but not artificially smoothed, no CGI appearance.
