## Prompt

```text

Four small black buttons are visible on the sleeve cuff.
Footwear: Crisp, bright white ribbed cotton socks creating a sharp visual break between the dark trousers and shoes.

Background: A minimalist, sterile studio setting with a light grey or off-white textured plaster wall.A soft, vertical shadow or curtain edge is visible on the far left.
Lighting: {lighting} that creates gentle gradients on the man's face and deep, dramatic folds in the oversized suit. The lighting emphasizes the high-contrast "black on white" aesthetic.
Floor: A light, seamless studio floor that catches the soft shadows cast by the chair legs and the man's shoes.
Color Grade: Pure monochrome (black and white) with a wide dynamic range—deep blacks and bright, clean Quality: Sharp focus on the subject with a very subtle film grain, mimicking professional editorial fashion photography (reminiscent of 1990s minimalist campaigns).
