Silhouette in Istanbul's ancient doorway: dramatic shadows

Black and white, high-contrast silhouette of a lone person framed in an ancient stone doorway in Istanbul. The doorway features weathered Byzantine-Ottoman carvings, a rounded or horseshoe arch, and worn inscriptions, with ivy clinging to the frame. Dramatic shadows spill onto a cobblestone street, produced by a backlight from a low sun or a streetlamp, turning the figure into a crisp black silhouette. In the distance, faint silhouettes of domes and minarets emerge through mist, hinting at Istanbul's timeless skyline. Cinematic noir mood, strong chiaroscuro, grainy texture, and a deep monochrome palette. Composition emphasizes depth: the doorway frames the figure, long shadows stretch toward the viewer, and the scene balances ancient stone with modern mood.
