Full banana prompt

By maintaining the original face and without changing anything from the face and hairstyle. A middle-aged man of Asian descent, around the age of 35-39 years, with a very serious, sharp, and intense facial expression.
* His face is genuine as in the picture: a straight and focused eye gaze.
* Her hairstyle is exactly like in the picture
* Pose: Sitting in front of a table, body slightly tilted forward. Both hands are placed on the table, with the left wrist protruding wearing a dark smartwatch, there are red accessories on the watch with silver bezels.
* Clothing: Wearing a dark black casual shirt with long sleeves. The LV brand.
Setting and atmosphere:
* Location in a dimly lit room, giving a feel like an interrogation room, detective office, or a serious meeting room at night.
In the foreground left of the short-haired man and right woman, there is a blurred silhouette of someone's shoulder, giving the impression that the photo was taken from another person's point of view (over-the-shoulder shot).
On the table to the left of the subject, there is a dark-covered book.
* Overall atmosphere: Tender, dramatic, serious, and full of concentration.
Technical details of photography and art:
Style: Cinematic still, thriller or crime drama style. The image quality is very high and sharp (hyper-detailed, 4K).
Angle: Medium close-up, taken from a slightly low-angle shot, which makes the subject look more dominant and powerful.
* Lighting: Dramatic lighting and high contrast (chiaroscuro style).
Direction of Light: The main light source (key light) comes from the upper right direction (from the photographer's point of view), shining the left side of the man's face strongly.
* Light & Shadow: This light creates a clear highlight on his forehead, cheekbones, and left nose, while the right side of his face is in a deep and dark shadow. This accentuated the contours and expressions of his face. The quality of light is soft but directed.
Focus & Depth of Field: Focus is very sharp on the man's face. The background and elements in the foreground (the shoulders of others) are very blurry, creating a shallow depth of field or bokeh effect, which isolates the subject and draws all attention to it.
Color palette: Dominated by dark colors: black, dark gray, and shadow. The subject's skin color is the only contrasting warm element in the image.
