The final image must clearly resemble the reference person. Wearing a {argument name="shirt" default="tight white dress shirt"} with sleeves rolled up to the elbows, and {argument name="trousers" default="dark fitted trousers"}. Forearms must be clean - no tattoos, markings, or skin alterations.
Lighting: dramatic low-key lighting with a deep black background. Key light from camera-right, slightly above eye level, creating strong contrast and sculpted shadows across the face and arms. Subtle negative fill on camera-left to deepen shadows, with minimal soft fill near camera for faint catchlights in the eyes.
Camera settings: shot on an {argument name="lens" default="85mm lens"}, f/2.0, ISO 200, 1/125s. Focus: subject sharp with shallow depth of field, background completely black and non-distracting.

Color & grading: deep blacks with preserved detail, neutral tones, controlled highlights, no clipping. Subtle film grain, clean editorial retouching, high contrast, powerful and introspective mood, premium studio portrait quan Ratio 4:5
