In the sixth installment of the Synthetic Portraits series, the focus turns to the corporate world through an aesthetic and symbolic lens. "Architecture of Authority" explores how power manifests visually—in the lines of a suit, the weight of a gesture, the geometry of light. More than representing status, the portraits explore the imagery of influence: the body, space, and gaze as structures of command. Created with Google Gemini 2.5 Flash, the compositions combine technical precision and visual narrative, translating the corporate environment into a scenario of control and calculated elegance.

His body leans slightly forward, elbows resting gently on his knees, hands clasped together as he looks directly into the camera with piercing authority. The Chesterfield’s deep buttoned upholstery and rich leather sheen add texture and weight to the composition, while the natural folds of the fabric and veins on his hands enhance realism.

Create a portrait using the user’s facial features and physical characteristics (reference photos provided – preserve the face 100%).
