Moody Black-and-White Portrait on Wooden Stairs

Black and white photograph of a man reclining on wooden stairs, moody and introspective atmosphere. High-contrast chiaroscuro lighting with strong side light from a window on the left, creating deep shadows along the treads and bright highlights on the man’s face and clothing. Grainy film texture emulating Kodak Tri-X or Ilford HP5. The man lies diagonally across the steps, one arm resting on his knee, a quiet, thoughtful expression. The wooden stairs show worn grain and knots, with a subtle vignette that draws focus to the subject. Shot with a 35mm lens for natural perspective and shallow depth of field, keeping the man and foreground stairs sharp while the background fades. Minimal clutter, emphasizing mood, lines, and texture.
