## Prompt

```text
A vertical studio portrait in a 9:16 format. The shot is framed approximately from the waist up, with a slight camera tilt or dynamic diagonal composition. The main subject is centered, slightly shifted to the right, with his body turned slightly toward the viewer. The background is {background_color} with a grainy texture, creating the feeling of a vintage magazine cover or music poster. Use the person from the attached reference as the main character. Accurately preserve his facial features. Maintain his distinctive look: a mysterious, confident, slightly detached expression, with his eyes partially hidden behind narrow dark sunglasses. The subject stands in a relaxed yet expressive pose. His head is slightly tilted forward and to the side, as if he is carefully listening to a phone conversation. He holds a {prop} to his ear with one hand and the other part of the phone with the other hand. The pose should feel casual, fashionable, and cinematic. The subject wears a black oversized blazer or jacket with a deep neckline, worn over bare skin or with no visible shirt. The look is minimalist and dark, contrasting strongly with the bright background. He wears narrow black vintage-style sunglasses. In his hand is a wired telephone receiver with a coiled cable. A coiled telephone cord is clearly visible, connecting the receiver to the device. The subject's hair is wet or heavily textured, messy, and voluminous. The lighting emphasizes the face, lips, and part of the neck, while the clothing almost blends into the deep shadows. The background should be rich and slightly rough, with vintage film noise. Fashion editorial photography inspired by the 1980s and 1990s, with the look of a glossy magazine, music cover, or art poster. High contrast, deep shadows, visible grain, and a subtle film texture. Visual style: {visual_style}. The atmosphere should be mysterious, bold, and stylish. The image should convey a sense of nighttime urban culture, music, fashion, and a secret telephone conversation. The subject looks charismatic, confident, slightly dangerous, and cinematic. A highly detailed image with pronounced film grain, deep shadows, and a vivid red background. Sharp focus on the face, sunglasses, hands, and retro telephone device. Preserve the vintage texture while keeping the image high-quality, expressive, and suitable for a fashion/editorial photoshoot.
