Hyperrealistic Portrait of Man Lighting Cigarette

A highly detailed, hyperrealistic prompt for a close-up portrait of a man in a laundromat, illuminated by the warm flicker of a lighter flame held to a cigarette. The prompt emphasizes extreme detail in textures (tweed, skin pores, tobacco), tattoos, and a massive ruby ring, using specific camera settings and lighting conditions for a cinematic look.

Prompt

Deep hyperrealistic close-up portrait (angle from shoulder level, focussing with long, slightly wet wavy black hair, sticking out from under a tightly tied scarf on the head made of rough tweed wool into a small cage of sand-beige and brown shades. A man in profile 3/4, his face is partially shaded, but illuminated by the warm, flickering light of the flame of the lighter, which he holds in his mouth at the cigarette. He's wearing black sunglasses in a vintage massive frame. The man's hands, detailed tattooed with complex floral patterns and a rose, frame the lighter. At the base of the thumb you can see a clear tattoo in the form of the letter Z with a crown. On the middle finger of the right hand there is a massive silver ring with a large, deep, facetted ruby in the shape of a cabochon, sparkling in the light of the flame. Skin pores, individual beard hairs, tobacco texture in a lit cigarette and scarf tweed weaving are conveyed with maximum clarity and detail. The background is blurred (bokeh f/2.2), metal, industrial surfaces of laundromat (self-service laundry), vaguely outlining round hatches of stainless steel washing machines. Colour palette: dominant warm sand, brown and beige shades of wool, contrasting with cold gray metal background surfaces and deep black glasses. Accents: warm golden flame, rich red ruby, whiteness of the cigarette filter and shirt collar. Camera: Fujifilm GFX100s, lens GF85mmF1.7 R WR. Settings: f/2.2, 1/320 sec, ISO 6400. Lighting: mixed (dim laundry light and dominant warm light from the lighter flame). Film granularity: minimal, for preservation The depth of field is very small.
