Optimized for Gemini

Use the uploaded image strictly only for the male subject’s facial identity and natural features. Create an ultra-realistic high-contrast black-and-white studio portrait in a vertical 4:5 aspect ratio. Show the subject in a tight head-and-shoulders composition, facing almost directly toward the camera with a calm, confident, cool expression with closed lips. He wears slim, round sunglasses with thin, dark metal frames and deep black lenses. Add a subtle clean cobalt-blue reflection across the outer upper area of both lenses as the only visible color accent; keep everything else monochrome. Dress him in a dark black collared shirt with minimal visible detail. Use dramatic low-key lighting with a strong sculpting key light from camera-right, illuminating one side of the forehead, cheek, nose, lips, and jaw while the opposite side falls into deep soft shadow. Preserve realistic skin pores, natural facial texture, natural highlights, and crisp contours without making the skin smooth or plastic. Composition(Important): keep the framing slightly wider than an extreme close-up so the full hair, forehead, and head shape remain fully visible inside the frame, with no hair cropping at the top. Maintain a balanced head-and-shoulders portrait with comfortable negative space around the subject. Background: pure seamless black with no objects, text, or distractions.   Camera: eye-level close portrait, 85mm lens look, sharp focus on the face and sunglasses, cinematic editorial finish, rich blacks, deep shadows, subtle grain, premium fashion-photography quality, ultra-detailed 8K realism.
