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 deep teal-black void. He wears a white shirt with the top two buttons open, sleeves rolled to the forearm, a steel watch, hair pushed back with the reference hairline exact. One hand rests at his collar mid-adjust, fingers countable, the other out of frame. Expression: cool unhurried command, the faintest smirk, eyes level to the lens. One hard-soft key from camera-right models the face - face brightest with clear catchlights - the white shirt glowing a stop under the face, a cold teal rim from behind-left tracing his shoulder. True skin and cotton 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.
