Using the attached photo as the direct reference for the face and likeness, generate the following: Create a luxury corporate executive portrait of the person from the attached photo. Aspect ratio: 4:5 vertical portrait. Camera framing: a medium-close shot from roughly the chest up, subject centered slightly toward the lower half of the frame, leaving space above the head for the glowing halo effect, camera at eye level, straight-on. Pose (locked, must match exactly): standing with both arms crossed over the chest, shoulders squared, upright and composed posture, conveying quiet authority and confidence. Expression: calm, serious, composed, direct steady gaze into the camera, lips closed, a subtle sense of quiet power. Hair (adapt to the subject's gender as shown in the reference photo, matching the reference photo's own length, color, and texture exactly): if the subject is male, short, neatly textured hair with natural movement on top, a well-groomed short beard if present in the reference photo, defining the jawline; if the subject is female, hair styled naturally matching the reference photo's own length and texture, sleek or softly voluminous as appropriate, no beard or facial hair. Clothing (adapt cut and styling to the subject's gender as shown in the reference photo): if the subject is male, a tailored dark navy suit jacket with a boxier masculine silhouette and structured shoulders, worn over a crisp white dress shirt with the top button undone, no tie; if the subject is female, a tailored dark navy blazer with a fitted feminine cut, worn over a crisp white blouse or dress shirt with a relaxed open collar. Accessories: a luxury wristwatch visible on one wrist, arms crossed so the watch is naturally visible. Background (locked, must match exactly): a deep midnight-blue studio background with a soft glowing white halo ring positioned directly behind the subject's head, the ring rendered with a soft diffused glow (roughly 70% soft/diffused edge, 30% more defined and crisp), the rest of the background falling into darker shadow toward the edges of the frame. Lighting: dark, cinematic, dramatic studio lighting, rich deep shadows, elegant soft rim lighting along the shoulders and jawline separating the subject from the dark background, subtle volumetric haze/atmosphere adding depth, shallow depth of field with the background softly falling out of focus. Skin and detail: realistic skin texture, detailed hair and beard rendering, premium fabric detail on the suit visible through the lighting. Color treatment: deep midnight blues and blacks, crisp white shirt, warm natural skin tones, cool cinematic Hollywood-style color grading. Style: Forbes-magazine-cover quality, premium executive branding photography, ultra-sharp eyes, photorealistic 8K detail, masterpiece-level commercial photography finish. Mood: powerful, composed, elegant, cinematic. Negative: no readable text, no logos, no watermark, no bright or flat lighting, no busy or cluttered background, no altered facial identity or skin tone, no changes to hair length or style from the reference photo, no beard on a female subject, no casual or wrinkled clothing, no color other than midnight blue, black, white, and natural skin tones, no missing or asymmetrical halo ring.
