## Prompt

```text
A dark, mysterious noir style portrait. In the center is a young man wearing a tight white knitted ribbed balaclava mask, leaving only the eyes and mouth visible. The bright white mask contrasts strongly with the dark background. One intense male eye with subtle dark eyeliner looks directly at the camera. Through the lower opening, masculine lips release thick swirling cigarette smoke.

Dense smoke fills the space around his head, forming complex translucent patterns and appearing three dimensional under directional light. In his right hand he holds a lit cigarette between short natural nails, which is the source of the smoke.

Hard directional lighting from above or the side highlights the texture of the white mask and smoke while the shoulders and background stay in deep shadow. Monochrome palette of black, white, and gray with natural skin tones. The man wears a gray men's shirt with a soft matte texture, the collar and upper chest slightly visible in shadow. The atmosphere feels bold, mysterious, and urban.
