Moody Black-and-White Portrait on Wooden Stairs

Black-and-white photograph of a man reclining on a weathered wooden staircase in a quiet interior. He lies diagonally across the steps, one leg bent and the other extended, one arm draped over his chest, the other resting on a higher step. He wears a simple shirt and jeans. The stairs reveal rich grain, scratches, and age. A single soft light source from the side (near a window) casts dramatic chiaroscuro: crisp highlights on the man's face and the edges of the steps, deep shadows in the corners, and a smoky, film-noir atmosphere. Grainy texture and high contrast evoke vintage cinema. Shot with a 35mm lens, shallow depth of field keeps the man in sharp focus while the background falls slightly out of focus. The mood is moody, introspective, and timeless.
