The prompt

Turn my photo into a black-and-white film noir portrait, like a still from a 1940s detective film. Keep my face exactly as it is: same features, expression and hairline. You may change the outfit to: [e.g. a trench coat and hat / a dark suit / a high-neck dress]. Scene: [e.g. a dim office with venetian blinds / a wet street under one lamp / a hotel corridor] Light: one hard key light from high and to the side, throwing striped shadows from the blinds or a sharp shadow across half my face. Deep blacks, bright highlights, little fill. Atmosphere: a little smoke or haze in the air catching the light; wet surfaces that shine. Camera: slightly low angle, 50mm feel, fine film grain, true monochrome with no colour tint. Avoid: cigarettes in hand, weapons, modern objects like phones, text, logos. Format: 4:5 portrait.
