Use the uploaded image strictly ONLY for 100% accurate face matching. Preserve the facial structure, proportions, hairstyle, and overall likeness of the subject. Create a striking, ultra-realistic black-and-white portrait of a handsome man with a thick, dark, textured hair. He is wearing a simple, heavy dark hoodie that blends almost completely into the surrounding darkness. The subject is captured in a tight medium close-up from a slightly low camera angle, shown in a three-quarter profile view with his head tilted upward, gazing intently toward a distant light source. His expression is contemplative, serious, soulful, and introspective. The background is a pure, featureless pitch-black void with no visible details or environmental elements. Dramatic chiaroscuro lighting created by a spotlight positioned in the upper-right corner, with no visible light beam or source path. The light must illuminate only the man's face and hair, revealing intricate skin texture, eyelashes, pores, facial contours, and individual hair strands. The illumination should be concentrated exclusively on the forehead, eyes, nose bridge, cheekbones, lips, and hair, while the neck, hoodie, shoulders, torso, and the rest of the body remain completely swallowed by darkness with no visible detail or light spill. The spotlight has no visible beam in the air, while preserving deep, cinematic shadows. Extreme contrast between highlights and shadows, with rich blacks and crisp whites. Fine-art monochrome photography, dramatic mood, masterful shadow play, photorealistic skin rendering, razor-sharp focus on the illuminated facial features, subtle film grain, cinematic depth, studio-quality lighting, ultra-detailed textures, 8K resolution, museum-quality portrait photography. Aspect Ratio: 4:5.
