Portrait (image)
Create a realistic black-and-white smartphone selfie, framed as an intimate, atmospheric close-up portrait of a young woman. She has long, straight, thick, glossy hair, with strands falling softly across her face and partially covering one eye. She looks directly into the lens with a calm, thoughtful expression and a hint of vulnerability. Her lips are slightly parted, her eyebrows softly defined, and her eyelashes full. Her head is tilted slightly; her shoulders are bare, and a delicate chain with a small pendant is visible around her neck. She wears a black, glossy bandeau top.

Use dramatic, soft directional light from the front and side to illuminate her face, neck, and shoulder, while the background falls into deep, nearly black shadows with only faint outlines of a dark interior. Use an off-center composition, placing the portrait left of center and leaving open dark space on the right to create a sense of depth. Keep the depth of field shallow and the room almost completely blurred and black. Render skin with high detail, smooth yet naturally textured, and show detailed fabric. Add soft grain and cinematic tones reminiscent of film photography. The overall mood should be melancholic, intimate, and elegant, emphasizing the contrast between light and shadow. Use a 4:3 aspect ratio and image quality comparable to an iPhone 16 Pro photograph. The phone itself must not appear in the frame.
