A dramatic black-and-white night portrait of me standing in a dimly lit urban street. My posture is slightly slouched forward, with my head lowered as I look down toward the ground. My right arm hangs loosely by my side, fully extended with a relaxed hand. My left arm is bent at the elbow, resting against a large vertical pillar for balance. My body weight shifts slightly to one side, creating a natural, asymmetrical silhouette.
I wear a dark, slightly loose button-up shirt with the sleeves rolled to just below the elbows, paired with dark trousers and a belt. The fabric catches highlights from a single strong light source above and slightly in front of me, emphasizing folds, texture, and the contours of my upper body. The scene is high contrast: bright highlights on my face, neck, and arms, with deep shadows falling across my torso and the background.
The camera is positioned at eye level, slightly in front of me, using a portrait focal length around 85mm to create a shallow depth of field. The background consists of softly blurred city buildings and illuminated windows, adding depth and nighttime atmosphere while keeping the focus on me. The mood is moody, cinematic, introspective, and dramatic.
