Monochrome Portland Street: Architecture in Contrast

Black-and-white street scene of downtown Portland, Oregon, captured at street level. Moody, rain-soaked pavement reflects storefronts and neon in grayscale. A row of historic brick warehouses with ornate cast-iron storefronts and external fire escapes lines one side of the street; in the distance, modern glass towers rise among low-rise buildings. A lone cyclist or pedestrian in a trench coat adds life to the scene. Emphasize textures of brick, metal, and glass with high-contrast lighting, deep shadows, and bright highlights. Cinematic 50mm lens feel with film grain and shallow depth of field to highlight Portland's architectural character.
