Male in Shadow

Ultra-realistic, high-contrast editorial close-up portrait of a model’s face, only partially visible, illuminated by dramatic slits of hard light across the eyes and mouth, leaving the rest of the face in deep shadow. Skin texture is hyper-detailed with a glossy sheen, emphasizing natural pores and highlights. The composition is mysterious and cinematic, minimalistic, with sharp geometric bands of light cutting across the face. Shot in a dark studio environment with a stark white background bleed-through. Captured in avant-garde fashion photography style, shot on Canon EOS R5 with 85mm f/1.4 lens at f/2.0, ISO 100, 1/250s shutter, precise vertical crop. Rendered in ultra-sharp 8K resolution, photorealistic, fine detail, editorial lighting. --ar 2:3 --style raw --q 5 --s 1000.
