Outfit: an 80s-style wide-collared satin or silk shirt unbuttoned slightly at the top, paired with flared trousers, a bold belt buckle, retro aviator sunglasses, hair styled with a voluminous vintage flair. Standing near the entrance, leaning casually against the wall, facing the camera directly, with a confident, charismatic smile. Lighting: dramatic warm-cool contrast, string-light glow mixed with dusk sky, subtle film grain. Style: Bollywood/Kollywood 80s film-still aesthetic, photorealistic, rich saturated color grade, shallow depth of field. Vertical 9:16 composition, high detail.

How to use this prompt

Provide a clear photo of the subject to ensure the facial likeness is accurately captured, focusing on features and expression.
