Black and white portrait of man with glasses

Prompt

Black and white portrait of a man with short hair and glasses looking directly at the camera

Subject: A mature male model featuring neatly groomed facial stubble and thick-rimmed rectangular eyeglasses wearing a simple, dark crew-neck sweater against a stark white background. 

Lighting: High-key studio lighting creating soft shadows that emphasize facial texture while maintaining deep contrast on the black clothing.

Description

This prompt is useful for creating sophisticated editorial headshots, minimalist branding materials, and fine art portrait studies. The combination of 'high-key studio lighting' with a 'stark white background' ensures that the focus remains entirely on the subject's face and the texture emphasized by the soft shadows, preventing any distracting environmental context from pulling attention away from the man's gaze.

Suggestions

Change 'thick-rimmed rectangular eyeglasses' to 'round wire-frame glasses' for a vintage feel.
Add 'Rembrandt lighting' to deepen the contrast on the face.
Swap 'dark crew-neck sweater' for 'turtleneck knitwear' to change the neckline shape.
