1,261 characters

Transform the input image into a dark, moody cinematic frame with a premium editorial aesthetic. Apply ultra lowkey lighting with deep crushed blacks and high contrast chiaroscuro, emphasizing dramatic light and shadow interplay. Use a strong top-down directional key light to sculpt the subject's face and body, creating bold shadow falloff and depth. Incorporate subtle geometric LED ceiling lights in the background with a soft glow and controlled bloom for a modern cinematic atmosphere. Add delicate rim lighting along the subject's edges for separation from the background. Keep ambient lighting minimal, allowing shadows to dominate while preserving essential detail. Apply slightly desaturated color grading with cool neutral tones and subtle warm highlights on skin. Maintain a matte finish with soft controlled highlights and no harsh reflections. Add a gentle vignette and a light atmospheric haze for depth. Ensure clean shadow compression with detailed blacks, sharp yet balanced exposure, Include ultra-realistic skin texture, natural muscle definition with soft highlight roll-off, 85mm lens look, shallow depth of field (f/1.8-f/2.8), and subtle cinematic film grain. Avoid over-sharpening, HDR effects, artificial glow, or plastic-looking skin.
