Red Neon Strip Portrait Prompt — Moody Cinematic Close-Up

A brooding cinematic close-up of a young man with messy textured hair and a black turtleneck, centered in a dark, minimal studio. A single horizontal strip of red neon light cuts across his eyes while heavy contrast shadows swallow the lower half of his face, leaving only an intense direct gaze burning through the frame. The palette is almost entirely black and deep red — stylish, moody, cyberpunk, and gallery-worthy, with razor-sharp focus locked on the eyes and everything else dissolving into shallow depth of field.
