A man stands in a window opening, his body partially obscured by the dark frame, his left hand raised and resting on the top of the window sash, his fingers relaxed in his hair, his head tilted slightly forward, his gaze directed straight at the camera, his lips closed, a portrait crop to the middle of his torso, shot through the narrow space between the frames. The composition is vertically elongated by the dark lines of the window, which form a rigid geometric frame. He is wearing a charcoal-black sweater with a tight vertical knit. The wool texture is pronounced, the ribbed pattern clearly visible in the side light, the material is matte, without a sheen. The window frames are painted a dark graphite color, the glass reflecting soft highlights, and the background outside is blurred in gray and white tones. The location is an interior by a window with natural side lighting. The light falls from left to right at an acute angle, creating a sharp stripe of light on the cheek and chest. The shadows are deep, almost black, the contrast is high, and the light is hard, directional, and without diffusion, creating a dramatic chiaroscuro effect. Black-and-white processing emphasizes microcontrast, enhanced detailing of skin and fabric texture, deep black shadows and bright white areas without blown-out highlights. Shot with an 85mm portrait lens, shallow depth of field, focus on the eyes, and a softly blurred background. High contrast monochrome grading, deep black shadows, bright controlled highlights, strong directional side light, enhanced texture clarity, dramatic chiaroscuro effect, film-inspired black and white tone, crisp facial detail, matte finish without glow, intense shadow separation.
