Prompt
A real photograph in the observational documentary genre, captured on 35mm film with a 35mm lens at f/5.6 for generous depth of field and open visible grain. A single soft overcast daylight key from high front falls evenly across surfaces with loose open shading gathering lightly under ledges and folds, finished in a plain desaturated grade with honest midtone contrast and unpolished texture.
Wide 16:9 frame. In cool grey rain light a slim Nigerian woman of about twenty with deep dark brown skin, a short rounded natural afro, a small gold nostril stud and thin gold hoop earrings and a broad-shouldered Latino man in his early sixties with deep tan weathered skin, short silver-grey hair, a thick grey moustache and a faint cleft chin stand pressed into the recessed doorway of the café with their collars up, watching the rain fall in sheets beyond the step, the young woman holding a folded pale blue umbrella and the older man with his hands in his pockets, seen from the front at eye level and framed full length. Each hand has five digits. The young woman wears a yellow raincoat and the older man wears an olive waxed jacket. No readable words, numbers, logos or brand marks appear; every sign, shop front, bag, crate and barrier is blank or plain colour. The place is one narrow brick high street in steady rain with wet cobbled pavements, a plain green awning over a fruit stall, a glass bus shelter and a café doorway with a lit window.
