Dark Fantasy Hooded Crowd Portrait

Full prompt
Create a cinematic black-and-white fantasy editorial portrait of me standing confidently in the center of a large mysterious crowd. The camera is positioned at approximately chest-to-eye level, with me as the clear focal subject. My body is shown from approximately the waist/chest up, while several dark hooded figures surround me in the foreground and background.
Pose & expression: I am {argument name="pose and expression" default="standing upright and composed, looking slightly to the side rather than directly at the camera, with a calm, serious, powerful expression"}. Natural posture, elegant presence.
Hair: Keep my natural hair color converted to monochrome and style it into an {argument name="hairstyle" default="elegant, intricate braided updo with soft loose strands framing the face"}. The hairstyle should look sophisticated and cinematic.
Clothing: Replace my clothing with an {argument name="clothing" default="elegant light-colored formal/fantasy dress"}, long sleeves, refined high-fashion design, modest neckline, smooth flowing fabric. Add an elaborate statement collar/neckpiece with metallic ornamental details.
Crowd: Surround me with many mysterious figures wearing deep black hooded robes. Their faces should remain mostly hidden in shadow, creating a dramatic anonymous crowd. The foreground figures should partially obscure the lower and side portions of the frame, naturally creating a tunnel-like composition that draws attention toward me.
Lighting: Extremely dramatic cinematic lighting. The central woman is brightly illuminated while the surrounding hooded figures remain almost completely black and shadowed. Strong subject separation, soft highlights on the face, deep shadows, atmospheric contrast.
Color & style: Strictly black and white monochrome, high contrast, cinematic film photography, dark fantasy editorial aesthetic, subtle film grain, realistic skin texture, detailed fabric, dramatic atmosphere, sophisticated composition.
Composition: Vertical portrait, central symmetrical framing, shallow depth of field, central subject in sharp focus, background crowd slightly softer, foreground silhouettes blurred and dark, cinematic depth and perspective.
Important identity instructions: My uploaded face must remain recognizable as the exact same person. Do not change my facial features or make me resemble a different person. Do not add glasses or sunglasses. No text, watermark, logo, or extra objects.
