Create a photorealistic portrait of a professional chef based STRICTLY on the face of the man in the uploaded reference photo. PRESERVE HIS EXACT FACIAL IDENTITY: same face shape, same dark short hair, same well-groomed dark beard with slight grey, same eyes, eyebrows, nose, and confident serious gaze — the result must look clearly like the SAME person.
Transform his outfit and setting into a brutal steakhouse chef: he wears a stylish dark chef's jacket (black with subtle detailing), sleeves slightly rolled up, standing confidently in a moody professional kitchen at the grill station. Behind him, flames and glowing embers from a charcoal grill, dramatic smoke, warm orange fire glow lighting his face from the side, cinematic contrast. He has a strong, self-assured expression, looking directly into the camera.
Vertical 9:16 composition, high-end food-brand aesthetic, sharp detail on the face, shallow depth of field, professional cinematic lighting. Keep the likeness to the reference face as accurate as possible.
