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 and moustache pattern exactly as in the reference, skin tone - every proportion identical, so anyone who knows him recognises him instantly; do not beautify, slim or genericise. From the reference keep only the face and hair.

THE BACKDROP: a deep black studio void filled with a giant spiral tunnel of long-exposure light-painting rings - concentric streaks of electric blue, crimson, amber and white light swirling behind him like a portal, densest and brightest around his head and shoulders, fading into black at the frame edges. The floor is glossy wet black, catching coloured reflections of the rings and his silhouette.

THE POSE: he takes one confident stride forward out of the light tunnel toward the camera, weight on the front foot, body turned slightly three-quarter, both hands tucked into the front pocket of his hoodie. Chin dipped a touch, eyes lifted and locked straight on the camera, both eyes fully open with clear catchlights. Expression: calm, self-assured, a faint half-smile at one corner of the mouth - effortless cool, never posed.

WARDROBE: an oversized heather-grey heavyweight hoodie, hood down, soft cotton texture true; dark indigo straight-leg jeans with a natural fade; clean white sneakers. No jewellery, no watch, no glasses.

LIGHT: a soft frontal key just above the camera, so his face is the brightest, sharpest point in the frame; coloured rim light from the rings tracing his hair, shoulders and arms in blue and red; a subtle warm bounce from below off the wet floor. The face is lit only by this scene's own light - same direction, colour and softness, shadows falling exactly as the environment dictates - never a pasted studio face.

LOOK: true photograph, high-end editorial studio portrait, crisp detail with real skin texture, rich saturated light streaks against true black, slight motion glow on the rings, his figure tack-sharp. 50mm, camera at chest height looking very slightly up, full-length with the rings framing him like a halo, his face large and clear. Vertical 9:16. Only this one man. No text anywhere.

FINAL CHECK: the face must match the attached reference exactly - if any feature differs, it is wrong; both eyes are open and looking at the camera; hands are tucked naturally in the pocket; no text anywhere.
