## Prompt

```text
A cinematic 35mm film portrait of a man with the uploaded face as reference, featuring {hair} and a {facial_hair}, looking slightly upward. He wears {accessory}. The scene is defined by dramatic chiaroscuro lighting, with sharp diagonal Venetian blind shadows casting stripes of warm golden light and deep shadow across his face and neck. The background is a dark, textured wall catching the same striped pattern. The color palette features a high-contrast mix of warm orange highlights and cool teal-toned shadows. Captured from a low angle with an 85mm lens, showcasing a shallow depth of field, subtle film grain, and a moody, vintage cinematic color grade.
