Monochrome Gentleman — Smoke & Silence

Create a highly realistic black-and-white editorial fashion photograph matching the reference image, but with a noticeably wider, more zoomed-out camera framing. A young adult man with thick, voluminous, naturally wavy dark hair styled upward and backward, strong masculine facial structure, defined cheekbones, subtle stubble and a short beard, serious and contemplative expression, looking slightly toward the left side of the frame.He is wearing a crisp white long-sleeve dress shirt with the top button undone and a loosely knotted dark necktie. His left hand is raised naturally to his face, with two fingers holding a lit cigarette close to his lips, with a thin delicate trail of smoke drifting upward beside his face. His other arm hangs naturally downward.Camera framing is the key requirement: use a wider medium-to-three-quarter portrait shot, approximately from mid-thigh/upper-thigh to slightly above the head, with generous negative space surrounding the subject. Do NOT crop tightly around the head, shoulders, or arms. The entire upper body, both arms, full tie, and more of the shirt should be visible. Leave comfortable space above the hair and on both sides of the body. The subject should occupy roughly 65–70% of the vertical frame rather than filling the entire frame.Vertical portrait composition, subject centered, camera positioned several feet farther away, approximately 70–85mm portrait lens, natural perspective, no wide-angle distortion. Soft directional studio lighting, dramatic shadows, rich grayscale contrast, realistic skin texture, individually visible hair strands, natural shirt wrinkles and fabric texture.Background is a simple blurred textured gray wall with subtle tonal variations. Moody sophisticated vintage masculine fashion-editorial aesthetic, cinematic monochrome photography, shallow but natural depth of field, sharp focus on face and upper body, realistic cigarette smoke, subtle analog film grain, deep blacks, clean whites, smooth gray midtones, photorealistic, high-end magazine photography.Important framing instructions: WIDER SHOT, ZOOMED OUT, MORE DISTANCE FROM CAMERA, FULLER BODY VISIBLE, MORE BACKGROUND VISIBLE, MORE SPACE ABOVE HEAD, MORE SPACE ON BOTH SIDES, DO NOT CLOSE CROP, DO NOT CUT OFF ELBOWS OR TORSO, maintain the same pose and proportions as the reference.Negative Prompt extreme close-up, tight crop, zoomed-in portrait, headshot, cropped shoulders, cropped arms, cropped elbows, face filling frame, oversized head, wide-angle distortion, fisheye, distorted body, extra fingers, deformed hands, extra limbs, cartoon, CGI, illustration, color, text, watermark, logo
