Prompt

Frontal face close-up of a middle-aged male detective staring straight into the camera. Fedora brim casts shadow over the brow but both eyes are clearly visible, pupils reflecting light sources. Rough facial skin, deep wrinkles, gray-white stubble, expression between exhaustion and contempt. Cigar smoke rises from below, drifting across his cheeks. f/1.4 ultra-shallow depth of field, focus locked on both irises, background bokeh hints at warm desk lamp glow and venetian blind lines. Godfather-style top lighting, brim creating semi-shadow over eye sockets, warm amber light on cheekbones and forehead, cool blue rim light from venetian blinds on the dark side. Volumetric light through smoke. Gordon Willis tonality, deep brown-amber palette, Kodak film grain. 16:9, 8K.
