Preserve his face exactly: bone structure, jawline, nose shape, eye shape, brow shape, lip shape, skin tone must match the reference precisely. Do not stylize, slim, lighten, or beautify the face. Setting: a dim hotel lounge at night — warm amber wall sconces and blurred lamp bokeh behind, dark wood panelling, a low velvet banquette. He wears a black open-collar shirt under a dark blazer, a thin gold chain, a gold-tone watch, moustache, thick styled hair with volume. He sits leaning forward slightly, forearms on the table, hands loosely clasped. Head turned squarely toward the camera, gaze directed straight into the lens, pupils centered, composed expression, no broad smile. Lighting: warm low-key tungsten key from camera-left, deep shadow on the right, glowing amber bokeh behind. Style: authentic late-1980s low-light film photograph on pushed expired film. Soft focus, low micro-contrast, warm muddy colour, lifted milky blacks with visible colour noise in the shadows, very heavy grain, strong halation bloom around the sconces, chromatic aberration, corner falloff and vignetting.
