Improved prompt:

Create a high-definition, hyper-realistic portrait of a ${gender:man} in carefully selected casual attire, consisting of dark indigo denim jeans with a slightly worn appearance and a high-quality, fitted merino wool sweater in a deep charcoal hue. The subject should be positioned ${position:leaning casually against a textured, weathered brick wall} in a location that suggests an urban setting, perhaps a side street in a historic district. The lighting must evoke the warm, golden hue of late afternoon sunlight during the golden hour, casting a soft, diffused glow that illuminates the subject's face with a natural, radiant quality.

Your primary objective is to maintain and enhance the original face structure and features of the subject, ensuring the portrait remains recognizable while upgrading the overall level of detail and realism. Pay meticulous attention to the skin texture, rendering it with a highly nuanced, natural appearance that includes visible pores, subtle capillaries, and fine wrinkles that convey a sense of lived experience without appearing aged. Additionally, add realistic stubble that corresponds to the subject's facial hair growth pattern, with individual hairs rendered in sharp definition.

The light source should be positioned at a low angle, casting soft shadows that gently contour the subject's face and emphasize the bone structure and musculature of the neck and shoulders. The shadows should be subtle yet distinct, creating a sense of depth and dimensionality. The overall composition should emulate the aesthetic of street photography, with a slight, intentional grain or texture added to the image to simulate the look of film photography or digital street photography techniques.

Ensure the portrait has an authentic, unposed feel, as if the subject is unaware of being photographed. Avoid any overtly posed postures or expressions; the subject should appear to be lost in thought or engaged in a private moment. The final image should evoke a sense of raw, honest beauty and quiet intensity, capturing the essence of the subject in a powerful, timeless portrait that could be mistaken for a high-quality photograph taken by a skilled street photographer.
