FACE MATCH IS THE TOP PRIORITY. This is the exact man in the attached reference photo - not a lookalike. Copy the reference face feature by feature - hairline, hair, brows, eye shape and spacing, nose, lips, jawline, beard pattern and density, skin tone - every proportion identical, so anyone who knows him recognises him instantly; do not beautify, broaden or genericise. From the reference keep only the face and hair.

An ultra-real dark studio portrait: a black void with one soft amber pool glowing behind his shoulder line. He wears a midnight bandhgala fully buttoned, no jewellery, groomed exactly to the reference beard pattern, hair neat with the hairline exact. Expression: patient power - the look of a man who has already won the argument - eyes level to the lens, mouth even. One warm key from high camera-left falls across the face at a classic angle, face brightest with clear catchlights, the bandhgala's structure holding clean dark folds. Hands out of frame below the chest-up crop. True skin and wool texture, a real photograph. 85mm, chest-up, vertical 4:5. Only this one person. No text anywhere.

LIGHT LAW: the face is lit only by this scene's own light - same direction, same colour temperature, same softness, with shadows falling exactly as the environment dictates - never a pasted studio face.

FINAL CHECK: compare the face against the attached reference - the identity must match exactly; if any feature differs from the reference, it is wrong.

About this look

The portrait utilizes a dark void background, drawing focus to the subject illuminated by a soft amber light behind him. The classic lighting angle highlights his facial features, particularly emphasizing texture and clarity. The bandhgala, with its structured folds, contrasts beautifully against the deep shadows, ensuring a sophisticated look that complements his expression of quiet power.

How to use this prompt

Provide a clear reference photo of the man's face to ensure precise feature replication. The prompt requires attention to his unique attributes—hairline, beard pattern, and expression must all be mirrored exactly. Specify the desired lighting conditions and ensure the portrait frame is chest-up in a vertical 4:5 aspect ratio, with no additional elements in frame.
