Replace “cooler evening light coming through the large windows” with “late-afternoon golden window light with warm amber highlights,” and replace “a softer, more neutral color palette” and “warm-to-neutral filmic color grading” with “rich warm browns, muted orange highlights, and nostalgic tungsten film grading.” Keep “natural skin texture” if you want the warmth to remain realistic rather than stylized.

Replace “editorial close-up” with “tight hand-and-face close-up,” change “subtle motion blur around the hand and match area” to “crisp focus on the hand, match flame, and cigarette tip,” and add “match flame as the brightest point in the frame.” Change “f/2.8 shallow depth of field” to “f/4 moderate depth of field” so the hand and face remain readable together.

Keep “photorealistic cinematic editorial,” “50mm look,” “f/2.8,” “natural skin texture,” and “filmic color grading” unchanged, then swap only the setting and action: use “rain-streaked Brooklyn diner window, man stirring coffee,” “dim record shop, man browsing vinyl,” or “quiet apartment kitchen, man lighting a candle.” Preserve “cool evening window light” and “black, gray, and blue” for a consistent series palette.
