Gemini Nano Banana 2 Prompt A Young man with piercing eyes reflecting a soft teal glow, wearing small round blue-tinted sunglasses in a classic John Lennon style with a thin gold frame. He is dressed in sleek black leather gloves, holding the glasses close to his face in a dramatic pose, with one gloved hand partially framing his eye. His gaze is intense, mysterious, and locked directly into the camera. Lighting is dramatic low-key with strong chiaroscuro, casting deep shadows across one side of his face. A subtle teal-blue rim light highlights the contours of his cheek and nose, adding depth and separation from the background. The overall mood is dark, cinematic, and noir-inspired with a modern cyber-noir aesthetic. Ultra-detailed skin texture with visible pores and light stubble, highly realistic and sharp. Volumetric god rays cut through a faint smoky haze in the background, enhancing atmosphere. Color grading is cinematic, focused on deep blues and blacks with natural warm skin undertones. Shot on 35mm film look with subtle grain, high sharpness on the eyes and reflections visible in the lenses. High-fashion editorial portrait style, inspired by Vogue menswear photography. Expression is enigmatic, confident, and slightly rebellious. Parameters: ar 2:3 stylize 450 v 6 q 2 chaos 15
