Turn the attached photo into a founder portrait for a technology pitch deck. Keep the man's identity exactly as shown: face, facial features, skin tone, hair, facial hair, body type and natural expression. Do not retouch or reshape features in a way that changes who he is. If no photo is attached, use the Man Description below.
Frame him from the chest up, facing slightly toward the camera with a composed, confident presence. Place him against the Background, with generous negative space and clean separation from the backdrop. Use one large soft key light positioned 45 degrees to one side of his face, creating controlled shadow falloff and subtle catchlights, with no visible fill light. Keep the lighting directional and restrained, with natural skin texture and crisp focus on the eyes. Dress him in understated contemporary business-casual clothing suitable for a technology founder. Use a restrained, editorial corporate portrait style, realistic proportions and natural color. Compose the image in the Format, leaving balanced breathing room for pitch deck layout.
Use these details:
Man Description: "man in his early 40s with short dark hair, light stubble and a calm, confident expression"
Background: "deep charcoal studio backdrop"
Format: "4:5 vertical portrait for a pitch deck"
