Create an image for me that fits DIN A4. A beautiful woman with an african background. It should be a portrait in black and white – creative – surreal – abstract – with a reference to migration. Feel free to play with motion blur (but not too much – perhaps a subtle motion blur). The motif should be darker. The background should be light. Magazine editorial style. And please only the person. No other motifs. (The portrait will later be edited with a coloured background and text will be added – but I will do that myself). In photography, there are various rules and techniques for improving image composition, including the rule that people in the image should not look out of the frame. This is often considered part of image composition, as it is intended to draw the viewer's attention to the most important elements in the image. If a person is looking at the edge of the image, this can often create a feeling of incompleteness and distract the viewer from the main focus. A common practice is to position the person so that they are looking into the image rather than out of it. This creates a connection between the subject and the viewer and can enhance the emotional impact of the image. For example, if a person is looking to the left, the focus of the image should be on leaving enough space on the right side of the image to show the movement of the gaze. This technique goes hand in hand with other photographic rules, such as the rule of thirds or the golden ratio, which serve to harmonise the composition and increase visual interest. Only the person! No animals! No motion blur in the face!

A solitary black king piece stands defiantly in the center of an ornate mahogany chess board, surrounded by the complete back rank of ivory white pieces - rooks towering like fortress battlements, bishops with their pointed mitres gleaming, knights rearing on muscular steeds, and the elegant queen with her crown of spires. The pieces are carved from polished marble and ebony, each detail meticulously rendered with realistic shadows and reflections on the glossy board surface. Style: Photorealistic with dramatic lighting, combining classical still-life photography with surreal fantasy elements. Quality: Ultra-high definition macro photography with tack-sharp focus on every chess piece detail, from the grain in the wood board to the smooth polish of the marble figures. Context: The ultimate showdown - one against many, representing themes of courage, isolation, and impossible odds. Above this earthly battle, supernatural observation adds an otherworldly dimension. Photographic Elements: Shot with a low-angle macro lens to emphasize the towering white pieces around the black king. Dramatic side lighting creates deep shadows and highlights the texture of each piece. Shallow depth of field keeps the chess board sharp while the sky softly blurs. Vibe: Tense and epic, like the final moments of an impossible battle. The atmosphere should feel charged with destiny and divine judgment. The Twist: Looming in the storm-dark clouds above, a colossal human face emerges from the swirling gray mists - ancient, weathered features with penetrating eyes that gaze down upon the chess battle with the intensity of a god watching mortals play out their fate.

A surreal, monochrome world suspended between light and void. A blindfolded figure in flowing white robes stands alone at the edge of a jagged obsidian cliff, facing an abyss of swirling darkness. Behind them, the crumbling silhouette of a warped, angular city stretches across the horizon, its skyline fragmented like shattered glass. A ghostly, oversized moon hangs impossibly close in the white sky, casting harsh, stark lighting—razor-sharp highlights and inky shadows. The figure’s serene, unreadable face is hidden behind a blindfold. Their outstretched hand releases a black origami bird mid-flight, its wings unfurling as if ready to pierce the silence. Below the cliff, an endless abyss swirls with broken reflections, abstract glyphs, and ink-like patterns. The atmosphere feels carved from frost and smoke. The entire image is rendered in pure black and white, relying on extreme contrast and dramatic negative space. Folded fabric gleams against black rock, mist coils like smoke in frozen air. Expression and emotion are defined by silhouette, texture, and space. Style: surrealism, emotional symbolism, monochrome dreamscape Palette: pure black and white, high contrast Lighting: stark backlighting from a lunar source, deep shadows Mood: introspective, mysterious, frozen tension Composition: rule of thirds, minimalism, dramatic silhouette and texture balance Elements: flowing robes, origami bird, cliffs, moon, blindfolded figure, void, abstract ruins Rendering style: cinematic grayscale photography, high-resolution surrealist ink illustration, Octane monochrome shader, Unreal Engine lighting

Inside a vast, empty gallery with smooth black walls and polished floors, a single white canvas hangs isolated on a jet-black wall. From afar, it appears blank—but up close, an impossibly intricate hand-drawn maze in faint charcoal lines covers its surface, barely visible. A lone figure, dressed in black, stands before the canvas. Their elongated shadow merges seamlessly into the floor, dissolving into the void. Above, a narrow skylight slices the space with a focused beam of pure white light, dividing the gallery into two stark halves—light and darkness. Dust floats gently in the air, catching the light like falling snowflakes. The only visible objects—crumpled paper near the figure’s feet, subtle breath vapor—exist solely in black and white, with no color, only contrast. There are no grays, only presence or absence. Everything in this world is shaped by what is not there: silence between thoughts, space between shapes, light’s gravity on emptiness. Meaning is found in the void between visible and invisible. Style: minimalist surrealism, conceptual abstraction Palette: pure black & white, soft shading gradients only from lightfall Lighting: high-contrast key light from skylight, deep ambient void Mood: meditative, existential, soft melancholy Composition: rule of thirds, empty center frame, high symmetry with void offset Visual Elements: lone canvas with hidden charcoal maze, black-clad figure, merging shadow, floating dust, quiet gallery architecture Themes: memory, perception, void, silence, duality of presence/absence Rendering style: ultra-high-resolution ink-detailed rendering, soft monochrome cinematic photography, Unreal Engine grayscale setup, volumetric dust with ray-traced lighting
