Low-Key Portrait with Moon Projection Silhouette

A detailed JSON prompt for generating a dramatic, low-key photorealistic portrait of a woman using a high-resolution full moon disk projected behind her as the main light source and graphic element. It specifies a pure black background, a clear shadow silhouette cast onto the moon, and high contrast for an intense, mysterious mood.
