PROMPT

Quiet Luxury Charcoal Shirt Portrait
Create a hyper-realistic, ultra-detailed 8K medium waist-up portrait of a man with a refined quiet-luxury aesthetic. Use the uploaded image strictly ONLY for face and identity reference.

IDENTITY:
Preserve the subject's facial identity, facial structure, proportions, skin tone, age characteristics, hairstyle, and natural facial details accurately. Do not alter, reshape, beautify, or replace the face. Maintain realistic skin texture and natural imperfections.

COMPOSITION & FRAMING:
Medium waist-up portrait with the subject centered in the frame. Body slightly tilted for a relaxed editorial composition. Maintain balanced negative space, clean headroom, and strong professional visual presence. Vertical 4:5 aspect ratio.

POSE & EXPRESSION:
Subject stands in a relaxed, confident posture with his body slightly tilted. Both hands are casually placed inside his trouser pockets. He maintains direct eye contact with the camera with a positive, composed, and confident expression.

OUTFIT & STYLING:
He wears a perfectly tailored premium charcoal-grey button-down shirt with a clean wrinkle-free finish. Sleeves are naturally rolled up to the forearms and the top buttons are open, subtly revealing a thin silver chain. Pair the shirt with tailored black trousers and a premium glossy black belt.

Add a luxury stainless steel chronograph watch on the left wrist. Keep all accessories subtle, sophisticated, realistic, and proportionate.

BACKGROUND:
Use a seamless smooth dark-grey studio background with a subtle vignette that gradually darkens toward the edges. Keep the background completely clean and minimal with no visible textures, objects, furniture, text, logos, or distractions.

LIGHTING:
Use professional cinematic studio lighting with a soft key light creating gentle Rembrandt-style facial modeling. Add a subtle rim light around the hair and shoulders for separation. Use soft front fill to preserve facial and clothing detail without harsh shadows or underexposure.

Keep the lighting neutral and cool-toned. Do not introduce warm golden lighting. Add realistic natural catchlights in the eyes.

CAMERA & TECHNICAL DETAILS:
Professional DSLR photography aesthetic, 85mm portrait lens, f/1.8 aperture, ISO 100, shutter speed 1/200. Shallow depth of field with tack-sharp focus on the subject and smooth background separation.

RENDERING STYLE:
Ultra-realistic high-end editorial fashion photography, natural skin pores and texture, detailed shirt fabric, realistic metallic watch reflections, precise facial detail, premium neutral color grading, cinematic contrast, polished luxury finish, authentic photographic realism.

NEGATIVE PROMPT:
identity change, altered facial structure, face distortion, beautified face, plastic skin, excessive skin smoothing, artificial skin glow, unrealistic anatomy, distorted hands, extra fingers, missing fingers, warped accessories, excessive HDR, warm lighting, harsh shadows, overexposure, underexposure, cartoon, CGI, 3D render, illustration, artificial background, text, logo, watermark.

OUTPUT:
Vertical 4:5 portrait, ultra-high resolution, premium professional business photography.
