## Prompt

```text
Create an ultra-realistic close-up studio portrait of an {subject} with a confident, thoughtful expression, photographed from the chest upward in a premium modern editorial style. Give him {hair_style} with natural volume on top and clean tapered sides. Add a well-groomed full beard and mustache with sharp but natural edges. He is wearing transparent rectangular eyeglasses with subtle reflections from the studio lights. Dress him in a fitted black turtleneck sweater layered underneath a sophisticated black tailored blazer with structured lapels. Keep the outfit completely minimal and monochrome with no visible jewelry or unnecessary accessories. Pose him facing slightly away from the camera, with his head gently tilted upward and his eyes looking toward the upper-right side of the frame, creating a calm, intelligent, aspirational mood. Use dramatic dual-tone studio lighting: {rim_light_color} rim light illuminating the left side of his hair and face, and vibrant electric-blue/cyan light illuminating the right side. Keep soft neutral frontal lighting on the face so the skin remains realistic, detailed, and properly exposed. Create a blurred futuristic studio background with a rich gradient transitioning from deep purple and magenta on the left to electric blue on the right. Add a glowing diagonal neon-magenta light bar in the lower-left background for extra visual depth. Emphasize realistic skin texture, detailed beard hairs, sharp eyes, natural eyeglass reflections, crisp fabric texture, cinematic contrast, shallow depth of field, smooth colorful bokeh, premium personal-branding photography, high-end corporate editorial aesthetic, ultra-photorealistic, 85mm portrait lens look, f/1.8, 8K detail, vertical 4:5 composition.
