Use the attached photo. Keep the face, skin tone, hair and body exactly as in the photo, and change only the lighting and treatment. Rebuild it as a black and white studio portrait: a single soft key light at forty five degrees, a small triangle of light under the eye on the shadow side, a dark grey seamless backdrop and a subtle rim light along the shoulder. Deep blacks, clean mid tones, fine film grain, 85mm lens feel with a shallow depth of field. Dress the person in a plain [colour] top. Head and shoulders crop, aspect ratio 4:5. No text, no watermark, no extra people.
