Dramatic Black and White Portrait Prompt

A prompt for creating a dramatic waist-up portrait of a girl with bold makeup and hard lighting in black and white.

Prompt

Dramatic waist-up portrait of a pensive girl in the dim light of a studio. She's wearing a simple black turtleneck made of fine cashmere. Hairstyle: smooth high pony, heavily slicked back. Makeup is bold: graphic eyeliner with liquid liner, smoky shadows with silver glitter in the inner corner of the eye, pale matte lipstick. A narrow beam of hard light catches only half of her face, creating deep contrast shadows. Black and white photography, graininess, atmosphere of a 90s film portrait.
