## Prompt

```text
Ultra-realistic cinematic black-and-white portrait of a handsome young man with {hair_style}, subtle stubble, defined masculine facial features, and classic round black eyeglasses, seated in a luxurious dark leather armchair. He wears a perfectly tailored black blazer over a black turtleneck, with one hand resting naturally near his neck and a sophisticated metal luxury wristwatch visible on his wrist. Calm, confident, slightly mysterious expression, looking directly toward the camera.

Extremely low-key chiaroscuro lighting, a single narrow window light cutting diagonally across the scene and illuminating one side of his face while the other side falls into deep shadow. Strong geometric light and shadow patterns on the textured wall, deep blacks, crisp highlights, rich monochrome tonal range, subtle analog film grain, realistic skin pores, detailed hair strands, natural facial proportions, soft background falloff, dark elegant interior, intimate luxury editorial mood, timeless film-noir aesthetic. Shot on a professional camera with an {lens} lens, shallow depth of field, cinematic composition, high contrast, photorealistic, refined photographic texture, vertical 4:5 composition, no color, no text, no watermark.
```
