How to use this prompt
To use this prompt professionally, incorporate it into gritty portraits, urban photography, or film noir recreations for art and media. Preserve "high-contrast black and white portrait," "same as from the uploaded image," "wearing collared shirt, and a dark overcoat," and "motion-blurred figures" for isolation. Do not change the somber expression or film grain. Optionally vary blur intensity; for example, more could yield chaotic visuals, leading to vignetting, while original creates introspective, low-key outcomes.
