How to use this prompt
To use this prompt professionally, integrate it into professional headshots, acting portfolios, or corporate branding for intense, thoughtful imagery. Feed it into editors with uploaded faces, preserving "portrait of me," "sitting on a chair," "tight white dress shirt," "dark, fitted trousers," and "dramatic low-key lighting" for serious mood. Do not modify the pose, interlocked fingers, or black background. Changing shirt to "black" could yield darker executive visuals, resulting in muscular emphasis, while keeping white might create contrast-heavy shots with confident, introspective effects.
