## Prompt

```text
Ultra-realistic cinematic editorial portrait of a {subject} in his early 20s, completely original character, closely inspired by the reference image’s composition, framing, lighting, and warm atmospheric mood. He has a naturally attractive masculine face, thick slightly wavy jet-black hair styled with soft, natural strands falling around his forehead, strong well-defined eyebrows, deep expressive dark-brown eyes, a straight sculpted nose, prominent cheekbones, defined masculine jawline, naturally shaped lips, and subtle realistic stubble. He stands casually beside an {background}, one hand gently resting near the side of his neck, creating a relaxed and elegant pose. He wears a {clothing}, complemented by a simple elegant silver chain and a subtle bracelet. Warm late-afternoon sunlight streams through an opening beside the wall, creating beautiful golden-hour highlights and soft dramatic shadows across his face and background. Close-up to medium portrait, eye-level camera, natural skin texture, visible pores and subtle imperfections, realistic hair strands, authentic facial proportions, shallow depth of field, softly blurred rustic background, cinematic color grading, warm earthy tones, soft film grain, professional fashion photography, 85mm lens, f/1.8, HDR, highly detailed, photorealistic, sophisticated and timeless atmosphere, no resemblance to any real person.
