## Prompt

```text
Use 100% face above uploaded photo. Create an ultra-realistic, cinematic close-up portrait of the {subject} with damp, messy hair falling over his forehead and wearing {eyewear}. He is in the act of flicking ash from a burning cigarette with his index finger. Capture the precise moment: glowing red embers and fine grey ash particles are suspended in mid-air against a dark, textured background. Dramatic side lighting highlights the tension in his hand tendons, his knuckles, the smoke curling from the cigarette tip, and the metallic black-stone ring. He wears a {outfit}. High contrast, razor-sharp micro-details, 85mm f/1.4 aesthetic. Don't change the face.
```
