Create an ultra-photorealistic, cinematic close-up portrait of a young man wearing a clean white hoodie, with the hood pulled over his head, against a completely black background.

FACE AND APPEARANCE: A handsome young man with naturally messy, slightly wavy black hair falling across his forehead, thick eyebrows, deep brown eyes, a well-defined nose, natural lips, and a neatly textured black beard and mustache. His expression is serious, calm, and intense, with his eyes looking directly into the camera.

LIGHTING: Use dramatic low-key studio lighting with a strong, warm light source illuminating only the right half of his face. Let the opposite half gradually disappear into deep, rich shadows while preserving realistic facial details. The white hoodie should catch the light beautifully, revealing its natural cotton texture, stitching, folds, and drawstrings.

COMPOSITION: Extremely tight vertical portrait, face centered slightly to the left, hood framing the face naturally, shoulders and upper chest visible. Keep the background completely black with no distractions.

PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE: Professional DSLR photography, 85mm portrait lens, shallow depth of field, realistic skin pores, individual beard hairs, detailed eyelashes, natural skin texture, cinematic chiaroscuro, high contrast, subtle warm skin tones, crisp focus on the visible eye, deep blacks, and balanced highlights.

REALISM: Make the image look like a genuine photograph taken by a professional portrait photographer. Avoid artificial skin smoothing, excessive sharpening, plastic skin, exaggerated facial features, oversaturated colors, and obvious AI artifacts.

FORMAT: 9:16 vertical composition, ultra-high resolution, photorealistic, dark cinematic aesthetic, premium editorial portrait.

IDENTITY OPTION: If using a personal reference photo, preserve the person's recognizable facial features, face shape, skin tone, hairstyle, and natural proportions as closely as possible.
