Structured Prompt for Black and White Fine-Art Portrait

An extensive JSON prompt for Gemini 3.0 Nano Banana Pro, aimed at generating a highly realistic, black-and-white fine-art portrait with a cinematic and introspective mood. The prompt meticulously details the subject's pose (one arm raised against a door frame), clothing (dark knit sweater), environment (narrow wooden doorway), lighting (strong directional side light for high contrast), and camera specifications (85mm lens, shallow depth of field).
