Create a photorealistic cinematic close-up portrait of a handsome man shown in a three-quarter back profile, turning his head over his shoulder toward the camera. His face is positioned in the upper-left/middle frame, with his shoulder and upper torso filling the lower-right portion. Strong masculine presence, dramatic editorial fashion photography. Appearance: Thick, neatly styled hair with subtle individual strands, defined facial features, natural skin texture. Outfit: Minimalist black high-collar ribbed sweater, matte fabric with subtle folds and realistic texture. Pose & Expression: Body turned away from the camera while the head turns back over the shoulder. Intense, confident, slightly serious gaze directly toward the camera, relaxed lips and powerful expression. Background: Dark charcoal-gray seamless studio background with subtle tonal gradients, clean and uncluttered, cinematic atmosphere. Lighting: Soft, dramatic side lighting coming from the left/front, creating subtle highlights across the hair, forehead, cheekbones, and beard (if present), with gentle shadows falling on the opposite side of the face. Subtle rim light separating the subject from the dark background, high contrast, moody chiaroscuro. Camera & Technical: Eye-level camera angle, tight medium portrait, 85mm lens, f/1.6, shallow depth of field, sharp focus on the eyes and facial features, smooth natural bokeh, cinematic color grading, realistic skin pores, ultra-detailed hair detail, HDR, photorealistic, 8K resolution, premium editorial photography, vertical 4:5 composition. Negative Prompt: blurry face, distorted features, bad anatomy, extra limbs, unnatural eyes, unnatural pose, plastic skin, duplicate features, warped clothing, distracting background, text, watermark.
