## Prompt

```text
Ultra-realistic cinematic black-and-white portrait of the {subject} in a {clothing}, captured in a {setting}. The subject is slightly off-center, facing forward with a calm, serious expression and soft eye focus. Dramatic low-key lighting with a strong overhead/back light creates a glowing rim light around hair and silhouette, while the face fades into deep shadow. High contrast with smooth falloff into darkness builds a moody atmosphere. Apply heavy film grain and high ISO noise (3200–6400) for a raw analog feel. Add slight softness, subtle blur, and faint highlight bloom. Natural skin texture with visible pores. Monochrome grading with crushed blacks, soft highlights, and shallow depth of field (50mm, f/1.8).
```
