馃寪
Create a **realistic cinematic portrait of an adult man**, closely inspired by the reference photo. Keep the image looking natural and photographic, like a candid fashion portrait rather than a heavily edited AI image. The man has **thick, messy curly black hair**, a short mustache and light beard, strong facial features, and a calm, serious expression. He is wearing **round vintage sunglasses with thin gold-colored frames and dark tinted lenses**. Frame him in a **very close-up vertical portrait**, with his face taking up most of the image. His head is slightly lowered and turned a little to the side, giving the portrait a quiet, confident, mysterious feeling. His lips are relaxed and his expression should feel natural, not posed. The main lighting comes from **warm late-afternoon sunlight**, falling across his forehead, cheek, nose, and lips through a narrow opening or window. The sunlight creates beautiful golden highlights and soft shadows across his face. Keep the skin realistic, with visible pores, natural texture, slight imperfections, and subtle facial hair. His curly hair should look **thick, naturally messy, and highly detailed**, with individual curls, loose strands, and small highlights catching the sunlight. Use a **dark, softly blurred background** with warm brown and amber tones. Add out-of-focus foreground elements along the left and right edges, like curtains or a window frame, partially framing his face and creating a cinematic depth. He wears a **dark outfit**, with a subtle hint of burgundy/red visible near the lower part of the frame. Shoot it like a professional fashion photograph using an **85mm portrait lens at a wide aperture**, creating a very shallow depth of field. Keep the face and sunglasses detailed while the background falls into soft natural bokeh. The overall mood should be **moody, warm, stylish, mysterious, and effortless**. Use realistic colors, natural contrast, subtle film grain, soft highlight roll-off, and authentic skin texture. **Avoid:** plastic skin, excessive smoothing, fake-looking curls, overly sharp details, CGI, 3D render, cartoon style, unrealistic lighting, heavy HDR, oversaturated colors, distorted facial features, and an artificial AI-generated appearance. **Vertical 4:5 composition, high-resolution cinematic photography.**
