Camera: The shot is framed as a vertical mirror reflection capturing the subject from the chest up.

Description

This prompt is useful for generating moody character portraits, cinematic stills mimicking film noir aesthetics, and editorial content exploring themes of introspection or rebellion. The combination of 'dimly lit room at night' with 'soft indoor lighting' ensures that the smoke plume remains visible against the dark background, while specifying the 'unbuttoned white linen shirt' adds a necessary element of casual disarray that prevents the subject from looking too polished for a candid selfie moment.
