A black and white 35mm film photograph taken with a Nikon F2 using Ilford HP5 Plus film. A young man sits in front of a curtain backdrop, caught mid-expression with a cigarette in hand. Harsh direct flash lights up his face, casting strong shadows behind him. He looks tired, slightly drunk, maybe smirking. The image is grainy, raw, and unpolished like a photo booth strip from the early 2000s or a candid shot from a messy pub night. No smiles, no posing just a brutally honest, chaotic energy. High contrast, sweaty skin texture, visible pores, imperfect framing. Feels like the cover of a gritty indie rock album. --style raw --v 7 --stylize 750
