Generation prompt
A figure or street placed on the boundary of light and dark, outline cut by a single side beam; pure grey-scale black, white and midtones; hard low-key contrast, highlights blown, shadows sunk; film grain and slight halation; compressed depth, background dissolved into black. Avoid colour and even lighting.
