## Prompt

```text
Close-up portrait, 85mm f/1.8, a {ethnicity} in her {age} stands in the hallway of her apartment in near-total darkness, back against the wall, head tilted slightly back, eyes closed, authentic daily life photography, natural candid moment.

Face upward and still, eyes closed — not sleeping, not resting, just a brief suspension. Almond-shaped eyes closed, lashes resting on cheek. Clear jawline, long neck. Straight black hair loosely down, some strands at temples falling free. Skin tone fair, specular micro-highlights on nose tip and center forehead from distant light source. Natural skin texture, no makeup.

She wears an {clothing}, untucked, collar slightly open. One hanging at side. Body in full relaxation — not posed. Stray hairs drift slightly from her exhale, natural and not arranged.

Black and white rendering. Extreme low key: near-total darkness in hallway, only a thin strip of light from a distant room doorway catching the side of her face and the edge of her shoulder — everything else falls to deep shadow. Shadow areas rendered with careful detail retention — wall texture and fabric folds visible in darkness. Fine ISO 800 grain throughout, photographic texture not CG render smoothness.

Aspect ratio 9:16. No watermark, no text overlay, not cartoon, not digitally painted, not illustration, not anime.
```
