Crowned in Curls: Dramatic Atlanta Portrait

Dramatic black-and-white portrait of a woman on a moody Atlanta street at dusk. High-contrast film-noir photography with subtle grain. The subject is in a three-quarter pose, wearing a sleek black outfit; one side of her face is softly lit by a Rembrandt-style key light from the left, creating dramatic shadows on the right and highlighting textures in her skin and hair. Her hairstyle is a unique, sculptural crown of tight curly spirals—an asymmetric arrangement with curls sweeping around her head and a few strands cascading over her shoulder, illuminated to emphasize shape and texture. The background hints at the Atlanta skyline with a soft bokeh of illuminated windows and distant silhouettes, enough to establish locale without distracting from the subject. The mood is empowered, timeless, and cinematic, with a subtle vignette and film grain. Shot with an 85mm portrait lens, shallow depth of field, and crisp focus on her curls and face while the city fades softly behind her.
