[man in his mid-fifties, lean build, short gray hair with dark streaks, neatly trimmed beard and mustache (mandatory), blue-gray eyes, light skin with visible wrinkles, focused tired expression]
[wearing a dark wool sweater over a simple shirt with open collar, sleeves rolled, no jacket, no tie — casual at-home attire of an old inspector]
[sitting at his old wooden desk late on a rainy Sunday evening, cigarette burning in ashtray, cold coffee nearby, reaching forward with a black marker to cross out a name on a gray police case folder, eyes fixed on papers — not looking at camera, absorbed in thought]
[interior: small old New York apartment, wooden furniture, shelves with folders and pinned case photos, window wet with rain, faint reflections of city lights and street lamps, no daylight]
[lighting: single desk lamp casting a strong warm glow on his face and papers, cool blue reflections from outside window, deep noir contrast, smoke drifting in the light]
[camera: medium side shot, 85mm lens, shallow depth of field, focus on his hand and profile, viewer sees him in his space, unaware of camera]
[style: neo-noir cinematic realism, psychological tension, moral conflict, solitude at night]
[color grading: desaturated palette, cool shadows, warm highlights from lamp, matte blacks, cinematic texture grain]
[textures & accents: worn paper folders, cigarette smoke, rain reflections on glass, light haze, soft glow from tungsten bulb]
[--no eye contact with camera, suit, tie, formal wear, daylight, christmas lights, modern furniture, extra characters, text, watermark, logo]
[cinematic composition] [cinematic color: neo-noir tone mapping] [cinematic angle] [postproduction: subtle film grain, bloom only on lamp halo]
[photo-realistic] [high resolution] [optical realism] [natural lighting simulation] [detailed skin & textures]
