90s Retro White Suit Rose Portrait

A romantic image prompt for a white-suit rose portrait in a golden beam of light.

Use my uploaded photo and keep the face exactly the same. Create an ultra-realistic cinematic full-body portrait in 8K detail: a young man in a crisp white suit over a black shirt, holding a bouquet of red roses. He stands against a dark background cut by a single golden beam of sunlight that throws dramatic shadows, and within the shadow a faint silhouette of a young woman appears, as if he is holding her hand. His eyes are closed, his expression calm and serene. Romantic, dramatic, photorealistic, 3:4 portrait.

Wind moves through his hair and the suit fabric, romanticising the moment.
