## Prompt

```text
Create an {poster_style} featuring a dramatic over-the-shoulder pose of a young man, using the same face as the uploaded image. The camera is positioned slightly behind the shoulder, capturing a 90–45-degree side profile facing right.

Use {lighting} to outline the messy, textured hair, nose, and sharp jawline. Keep the background deep black, with only the edges of the face subtly glowing against the darkness.

The subject wears {accessories}, featuring realistic reflections. Preserve the subject’s natural face shape, skin tone, facial features, and realistic facial skin texture.

Overall aesthetic: dark, dramatic, premium cinematic poster, ultra-realistic photography, high contrast, detailed skin texture, atmospheric lighting, sharp facial contours, and sophisticated movie-poster quality.
