Thoughtful Black-and-White Portrait in an Asian Market

Black-and-white portrait of a woman sitting thoughtfully in a bustling Asian market. Half-length, she sits on a wooden stool with her elbow on her knee and her chin resting on her hand, eyes looking slightly away. Side lighting from a single window or street lamp creates Rembrandt lighting, a triangular patch of light on the shadowed cheek, deep shadows and bright highlights in her eyes. Surrounding her are market stalls with woven baskets of vegetables and fruit, jars, dried chilies hanging, rolls of fabric, ceramic bowls, and steaming pots. The background is softly blurred with a shallow depth of field to keep the focus on her. The image has a grainy film texture, high-contrast monochrome, and a subtle vignette for a cinematic feeling.
