Grit and Light: Woman on a City Surface

A woman sits on a gritty urban surface—a cracked concrete slab speckled with gravel, with peeling graffiti on a brick wall behind. Dramatic lighting with high-contrast chiaroscuro: a single hard key light from the left carves sharp shadows across her face and body, with a subtle rim light along her shoulder and hair. Neon storefronts in the distance cast electric blue and magenta highlights on the damp ground. Shallow depth of field with blurred city lights in the background; rain-slick texture catching the light. Cinematic noir mood, contemplative and resilient. Rich textures in skin, clothing, and gritty ground, rendered with realism. Imagine a 50mm lens at wide aperture (f/1.8), low camera angle to enhance the drama of light and shadow.
