This prompt is meticulously crafted for generating a highly specific, ultra-realistic black-and-white studio portrait of a young adult male. For optimal results, it is crucial to provide a high-quality reference image for the subject's face, as the prompt explicitly demands 100% preservation of facial features and hair from that reference.

Generate a vertical 4:5 ultra-realistic, high-resolution black-and-white studio portrait.
Subject: A young adult male (not teenage, not older adult), depicted waist-up as a single subject only, with no extra people or duplicate faces. His facial features must be built 100% from the unaltered reference image, preserving the original face exactly, with hair unchanged. Grooming should be consistent with the reference image (keep facial hair if present, otherwise clean-shaven).
Pose & Gaze: Captured at eye level perspective, arms crossed naturally, looking slightly down and off-camera left. Maintain natural anatomy, realistic hands, and realistic eyes.
Attire & Accessories: Dressed in a dark textured waffle-knit sweater. Minimal masculine accessories include a silver chain necklace and a classic analog leather-strap watch. Emphasize strictly masculine styling, menswear tailoring, structured shoulders, a straighter silhouette, a boxier fit, and masculine proportions with sharp lines. Gender expression must derive solely from the outfit, styling, pose, and body presentation, without altering facial identity or hair.
Lighting & Environment: Feature soft dramatic studio lighting originating from the left, creating cinematic shadows. The background is a vertical split: white on the left and black on the right. The background must be completely clean, soft, and feature a smooth, uniform gradient with perfectly smooth color transitions.
Artistic & Quality Directives: Render in a monochrome editorial style, akin to high-end cinematic photography, with professional depth of field and soft, clean bokeh. Achieve cinematic black-and-white contrast, detailed skin and fabric texture, natural facial shadows, and realistic lens rendering. Ensure extremely high and sharp image quality.
Exclusions & Refinements: Avoid any feminine elements, including makeup (no lipstick, no eyeliner), no nail polish, no long manicured nails, no dresses, skirts, corsets, lace lingerie vibes, delicate jewelry, or handbags/purses. Do not introduce feminine poses or feminine body language. Prevent any facial distortions, extra fingers, warped bodies, plastic skin, or over-retouching. Ensure no noise, grain, film grain, sensor noise, compression artifacts, banding, or noisy textures in the background.
