## Prompt

```text
Create an ultra-premium editorial studio portrait of a young Black man in clean left-facing side profile, shown from mid-thigh to head against a seamless dark charcoal black background. The subject is {subject}, standing upright with a calm, serious, composed expression, eyes looking straight ahead to the left, lips relaxed, jawline defined, and posture elegant. He wears {shirt}, tucked into tailored black trousers, with one visible hand resting in his trouser pocket and a black wristwatch on that wrist. Use a refined fashion-editorial look with realistic skin texture, crisp fabric detail, subtle highlights on the cheekbone, nose bridge, ear, neck, and forearm, and soft shadow falloff. Lighting should feel premium but not flashy: a large soft key light from the front-left, gentle rim separation from the background, controlled contrast, no harsh studio glare. Compose vertically in a 2:3 frame, subject positioned slightly left of center with negative space on the right, full side silhouette clearly readable. Photorealistic, high-end magazine portrait, shallow but natural depth of field, sharp focus on face and upper body, matte dark backdrop, no text, no props besides the single wristwatch, no extra people, no watermark.
