Elegant Noir at Moda Pier, Istanbul

Elegant black-and-white photograph of Moda Pier in Istanbul, Türkiye. A long wooden pier extends into the calm Bosphorus; vintage iron railings, ornate lampposts, and a soft glow from the lamps create timeless elegance. Capture with high-contrast monochrome and subtle film grain; the water appears silky due to a long exposure, reflecting the pier's lights as gentle halos. In the distance, Istanbul's skyline forms a distant silhouette of minarets, domes, and modern buildings along the horizon. Foreground reveals the texture of weathered planks and railings; a solitary figure in a wool coat at the end of the pier or a quiet cyclist adds life without breaking the stillness. Dawn or dusk lighting with low-angle sun casts dramatic shadows and bright edges. Composition uses the pier's lines to lead the eye to the horizon, balancing architectural elements with sea mood for an elegant, classic noir-inspired image.
