Your prompt
A candid documentary photograph of {{subject}} captured in a {{setting}} with a 35mm lens at f/5.6 for deep focus that keeps both the subject and environment sharp and legible. The composition places the subject slightly off-center using the rule of thirds, allowing the surrounding environment to tell the broader story. Natural available light illuminates the scene with honest, unmanipulated quality, casting real-world shadows and highlights that reveal texture in walls, pavement, and clothing. The moment is decisive, capturing a fleeting expression or gesture that conveys genuine human emotion. Background elements include contextual details like signage, architecture, or bystanders that anchor the image in a specific time and place. The tonal range is {{tone}} with a Kodak Tri-X grain structure adding timeless photojournalistic character. Shot with the unflinching intimacy of a Leica M11, deep focus, editorial photojournalism quality. Aspect ratio: {{aspect-ratio}}.
