Art style: Cinematic Realistic.
Ultra-realistic podcast studio, vertical 9:16 framing. The guest Alex (from reference photo) sitting (on the right side, looking left) behind microphone, black studio headphones with yellow ear cushions. He has black t-shirt. Cinematic studio lighting, warm rim light, blurred night cityscape background. Medium chest-up shot. Static camera. Preserve exact face from reference.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Cinematic Realistic" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Cinematic Realistic". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Cinematic Realistic" idiom, not in any other medium.
Character appearance reference (MUST match exactly):
- Alex: Use face from reference I uploaded
Reference images context (match the visual style and elements from these):
- Surprised bearded man (character): Man with dark hair, full beard, and black glasses showing a surprised expression in a green t-shirt.
