The prompt
Create a black and white 1940s film noir photograph of a detective in a fedora hat and a belted trench coat standing under a single street lamp on a wet night street. Hard light from above casts deep shadows across his face and the brim of his hat, and light fog hangs in the air. Behind him, an old brick building with a window casting venetian blind shadows on the wall. High contrast, deep blacks, film grain, dramatic low angle, 35mm lens. Vertical 2:3 format. No text or watermarks.
