(cinematic, moody, naturalistic, photorealistic, shallow depth of field, emphasis on light and shadow interplay, 8k) **Subject:** An adult Caucasian male with an average body type, **looking directly at the camera with a confident, slightly squinting gaze**. His expression is contemplative yet self-assured. He has short, styled hair and a clean-shaven face. **Pose & Composition:** Medium shot. The subject is seated sideways on a leather couch, leaning back in a relaxed posture. One hand rests on his lap, the other is placed casually on the couch.

Dark wood or teal wall paneling forms the background. A round table is partly visible in the foreground. A red lamp and a pillow with a graphic print add contrasting color accents. **Lighting & Atmosphere:** Late afternoon. Warm, directional sunlight streams through window blinds, creating sharp patterned stripes of light and shadow across the subject, couch, and floor. A red ambient fill light from the lamp adds depth and a moody, intimate contrast to the cool shadows. The overall tone is cinematic, contemplative, and confident. **Key Visual Details:** - **Light Effect:** Slight, subtle lens flare from the intense sunlight filtering through the blinds. - **Color Palette:** Dominant warm browns and reds contrasted with dark teal/black shadows. - **Textures:** The grain of leather, the weave of the polo shirt, the softness of the jacket fabric. **Technical Style:** - Simulated camera settings: low ISO, f/2.8 aperture, 1/100s shutter speed. - Shallow depth of field: the subject is in sharp focus against a softly blurred background. - Minimal digital grain, clean optics. - Naturalistic, film-like quality. --ar 4:5 --style raw
