Two people standing close on a narrow Parisian street at dawn, not quite touching, intimacy expressed through proximity alone. She tilts slightly toward him; he gazes past her, deep in thought. Simple clothing: trench coats, knit sweaters, no excess. Natural faces, honest expressions, no glamour. Stone walls, shuttered windows, stacked cafe chairs, a bicycle leaning against the wall. Eye-level static camera, wide negative space, slightly imperfect composition. Soft diffused daylight, subtle 35mm film grain, gentle shadows. Emotion through stillness and silence, love present but unspoken. Godard and Truffaut aesthetic: restrained, observational, melancholic art-house romance. full prompt: https://aiistudio.com/prompt/2015296685354721690 A French New Wave–style minimalist lovers scene, black and white, 1950s–1960s European cinema tone. A couple standing close but not touching, quiet intimacy expressed through proximity rather than action. The woman leans slightly toward the man; the man looks past her, thoughtful. Simple, understated clothing — trench coats, wool coats, knit sweaters, classic shirts. No glamour, no styling excess. Natural faces, minimal makeup, authentic expressions. Set on an empty Parisian street or narrow European alley, early morning or overcast daylight. Café chairs stacked, a bicycle against a wall, stone textures, shuttered windows. Static camera, eye-level framing, wide negative space, imperfect composition. Soft natural light, gentle shadows, subtle 35mm film grain. Emotion conveyed through stillness, silence, and unresolved tension — love present but unspoken. Minimal dialogue energy, poetic realism, quiet longing, human fragility. Inspired by Godard / Truffaut, anti-dramatic, observational cinema, timeless intimacy, restrained romance, art-house melancholy. #AIart #GPTImage2
