Monochrome Close-Up: Serene Reader with Open Book

Monochrome close-up of an individual holding an open book. The shot focuses on the hands and the book, with the person’s face softly blurred in the background to convey serenity. Diffused light from a window softly highlights the pages, fingers, and binding, creating gentle shadows and textures on paper and skin. High-contrast black-and-white photography with shallow depth of field, subtle film grain, and a calm, contemplative mood.
