Raw Prompt

A hyper-realistic cinematic close-up portrait (use uploaded face as reference). The subject looks upward with chin slightly raised and eyes half-open, as if drawn to a light above. A cool white overhead spotlight creates dramatic top-down lighting, sculpting the face while the background stays black. Soft volumetric mist forms a subtile light beam. Wearing a matte black high-collar jacket. Shot on an 85mm lens with shallow depth of field, high contrast, and a spiritual, transcendental mood. Portrait Mode.
