Cinematic character reference portrait, vertical 9:16, photorealistic film still. DETECTIVE MAXIM VOLKOV — a weary police officer, 40 years old. Sturdy heavy build, short greying stubble, tired heavy-lidded eyes with dark circles, weathered lived-in face. Wearing a rumpled trench coat over a shirt with a loosened crooked tie — the workhorse of the system. Skeptical but decent expression. Cold hard key light, teal shadows with subtle warm skin tones, moody low-key. Shot on ARRI Alexa 35 with Cooke S4/i 75mm prime lens, f/2.0, shallow depth of field — eyes tack sharp. Kodak Vision3 500T film emulation, fine noble grain, deep shadows, subtle halation. Neutral dark background, prestige crime-drama look. Full vertical composition, head-and-shoulders framing, eyes on upper third line.
