Smoking with Tie

Thursday 18 December 2025

Prompt

A hyper-detailed, cinematic portrait captured in the style of dramatic film noir photography, showcasing a subject framed in a tight vertical close-up, wearing a crisp white collared shirt and a dark pinstripe tie loosely knotted. The subject holds a lit cigarette between their lips, with fine tendrils of smoke curling upward, partially obscuring the view. Long, sparkling chandelier earrings dangle prominently against the deep shadows, catching the light. The hair is textured, dark, and slightly damp, with messy strands falling across the face, amplifying the intense, moody atmosphere. The primary lighting is harsh, theatrical backlighting and warm, intense rim lighting originating from the upper right, creating strong specular highlights on the skin, shoulders, and hair, plunging the majority of the face and the dark gray background into deep chiaroscuro shadows. Colors are highly desaturated, dominated by rich amber and sienna tones against monochromatic blacks and whites, emphasizing the high-contrast aesthetic. Photorealistic texture details on the cotton shirt and glossy lips are sharp, achieved with a medium telephoto lens (around 100mm) utilizing an extremely shallow Depth of Field (f/1.8), ensuring critical focus is centered intently on the mouth and eyes while the background dissolves into a smoky, dark void. Post-processing is aggressive, featuring heavy analog film grain (ISO 3200), strong vignetting, high contrast adjustment simulating HDR, and a gritty, moody color grade that enhances the tension.
