## Prompt

- Model: Nano Banana Pro

```text
Create a dark, intense cinematic close-up portrait of the uploaded man with messy, styled hair with loose strands, staring over his shoulder into the camera with a deep, serious, intense sad look. His body turned to the side, left arm is raised accross the face to the ear with elbow extending upward and forward covering his face only one eye visible, creating a strong layered pose. He wears a dark teal-blue rolled up sleeve open silk shirt, clean chest slightly visible. DSLR quality, shot taken from side while he is looking. Keep the face mostly desaturated with natural skin tones while the shirt remains rich deep teal-blue, creating a selective-color cinematic look. Dramatic low-key side lighting, deep black shadows, subtle film grain, high contrast, moody black background with lower foreground, slight vignette, realistic skin texture, shallow depth of field, editorial fashion photography, 85mm lens, ultra-realistic, atmospheric, 4:5 portrait. Maintain the face same as the uploaded photo.
