Film-Noir Portrait: Quiet Decadence

Prompt:
Intimate cinematic black-and-white film-noir portrait, captured at eye level with an 85mm prime lens aesthetic, shallow depth of field, tight close-up framing on the upper torso and face.A strong, elegant female model with a refined, natural silhouette stands beside a window in a dark interior, suspended in a moment of quiet introspection. Her presence balances emotional vulnerability with restrained strength.She wears a crisp white shirt or minimalist silk blouse, top buttons undone, fabric softly collapsing against the collarbone and upper chest. One hand holds a thin-stemmed wine glass, fingers relaxed yet expressive, the glass partially raised near the lips or resting just below the chin. The wine inside appears nearly black in monochrome, catching sharp highlights along the rim and bowl.Her head is subtly tilted back. Eyes remain distant and unfocused — razor-sharp focus locked on the eyes, cheekbones, jawline, lips, and facial planes. Expression is controlled, inward, unresolved.Film-noir lightingHard, directional window light carves the face, neck, collarbones, and hand holding the glass, slicing aggressively into deep shadow. Strong chiaroscuro contrast, heavy shadow falloff, crushed blacks with controlled highlight roll-off. Light is harsh, intentional, dramatic — no softness, no diffusion, no beauty lighting.The wine glass introduces specular highlights and sharp reflections, adding tension and visual rhythm without glamour.AtmosphereSubtle ambient haze and dust particles drift through the light beam, adding depth and volume without obscuring facial detail. Window glass creates fractured reflections and linear highlights, reinforcing isolation and psychological distance.Film character & texture– Classic 35mm black-and-white film aesthetic– Pronounced organic grain (Tri-X / HP5 inspired, slightly pushed)– Micro-contrast emphasized– Natural skin texture with visible pores, fine lines, imperfections, natural oil sheen– No digital cleanliness, no retouching, no beauty smoothingEnvironmentMinimalist noir interior rendered in pure blacks, charcoal greys, and silver highlights. Background dissolves into darkness, allowing the subject to emerge solely through light, texture, and emotion.MoodSolitude, restraint, inner conflict, feminine strength, quiet decadence — a still frame from a lost film-noir drama.No CGI. No illustration. No stylization.Strictly preserve reference facial features, bone structure, hair texture, hair color, and eye shape.Identity remains unchanged.Timeless film-noir realism. Museum-grade black-and-white cinematic portrait
