Minimalist profile portrait of a confident young man **with the exact same face direction and facial expression as the original photo**, clean studio background, thumbnail YouTube frame design, modern professional aesthetic, elegant soft lighting, sharp focus, editorial style, luxury branding look, clean sans-serif font, stylish and balanced composition. **Using this image as reference: generate a hyperrealistic editorial portrait of the same person, preserving facial structure, skin tone, hair texture, and emotional expression with maximum fidelity. Do not remove natural imperfections—freckles, scars, pores, asymmetries, or wrinkles must be preserved to honor the subject’s authenticity and individuality.** Remove the background entirely and isolate the subject (the man), then place him on a pure white background like the infinite white void in The Matrix movie style—clean, minimalist, and expansive for a cinematic feel. **Dramatically enhance the subject for high-resolution YouTube thumbnail use in HD (preferably 4K or 1080p) with ultra-crisp digitalized quality—like a professional studio retouch.** Preserve the exact face direction and facial expression without any changes—**sharpen facial details to perfection, boost contrast for striking definition, brighten skin tone noticeably for a healthy, glowing, clean appearance while keeping it natural.** Subtly smooth skin without removing natural texture. **Sharpen and super-brighten the eyes dramatically for intense, captivating engagement.** **Enhance overall lighting to simulate professional photo studio-style soft front lighting with cinematic depth—add strong subtle highlights and shadows for a polished, film-like professional quality, rich in contrast with glowing highlights that sculpt the face.** Make the black shirt **much deeper, richer, and impeccably clean** in color. **Increase color saturation moderately for a bold, punchy, and vibrant look.** Do not cartoonize, warp, or alter facial structure, direction, or expression. Keep the appearance **realistic but digitally polished to perfection—like a high-end magazine cover with thick film grain and subtle hazy glow for editorial realism.** **Camera settings:** - Lens: 50mm f/1.4 (for emotional intimacy and cinematic compression) - ISO: 400 - Aperture: f/1.8 - Shutter speed: 1/125s - Format: horizontal (16:9 aspect ratio for YouTube thumbnail) - Lighting: elegant soft studio (~5600K) with cinematic highlights - Color grading: balanced contrast, subtle glow, light grain - Mood: confident, modern luxury, editorial polish - Atmosphere: clean studio, professional minimalism Output the final image as a high-resolution PNG with the white background — suitable for YouTube thumbnails, overlays, or graphic compositions. **--v 5 --ar 16:9 --style raw --quality 2 --ref_photo**
