Prompt

A cinematic, ultra-realistic portrait of {argument name="subject" default="a young man wearing a loose black hoodie"}, seated indoors at night. He has slightly messy dark hair, a full beard, and a calm yet introspective expression. The subject is centered in frame, looking either directly into the camera or slightly off to the side in a candid moment. He is wearing over-ear headphones, adding a subtle modern, urban mood.  Lighting is soft, moody, and low-key, with a {argument name="color palette" default="cool-toned color palette (blue-grey hues)"}. Gentle, diffused light falls across his face, highlighting natural skin texture with visible pores while maintaining a clean, cinematic look. Shadows are soft but present, creating depth and contrast without harsh edges.  The background is heavily blurred with a strong bokeh effect—suggesting an indoor environment with distant lights (possibly a café, studio, or night-lit interior). The depth of field is very shallow, mimicking an 85mm lens at f/1.8, with creamy, circular bokeh highlights scattered behind him.  Foreground includes slight blur elements (like passing shapes or objects) to create depth layering and a voyeuristic, cinematic framing. Composition feels natural and slightly editorial, as if captured during a quiet moment.  Color grading is cool and desaturated with subtle teal-blue tones, giving a modern, atmospheric aesthetic. Skin tones remain natural but slightly muted to match the overall mood.  Style: hyper-realistic, cinematic photography, shallow depth of field, DSLR quality, soft grain, high dynamic range, professional portrait lighting, Instagram editorial style.  Camera details: 85mm lens look, f/1.8 aperture, sharp focus on eyes, background falloff, natural lens compression.  Aspect ratio: {argument name="aspect ratio" default="vertical (4:5 or 9:16)"}, optimized for social media. Generate image using uploaded image as reference
