A little Black + White play today!!

Create a black and white portrait of a triggerword posed in a classic pin-up or retro style, holding an old-fashioned film camera. The woman is positioned centrally, facing the camera with a direct gaze and a slight, engaging smile. Her expression is bright and alluring. The overall style strongly evokes the 1950s pin-up look. The image is rendered in high contrast black and white, giving it a timeless, classic feel. She is wearing a strapless dress or bustier with a gingham or checkered pattern. The same pattern is used for a large bow tied onto a headband in her hair. Her hair is styled in voluminous waves and rolls typical of the era (often called a "victory roll" style), kept back by the patterned headband. Her makeup is pronounced, featuring dark, defined eyebrows, heavy eyeliner with a distinct wing (cat-eye), and a bright, glossy lip (which translates to a strong contrast in the grayscale image). She is wearing glasses. She is holding a vintage 35mm film camera (it appears to be a Zenith or similar SLR based on the lettering on the prism housing). She holds it up with both hands, looking over the top of the camera directly into the viewer's lens, suggesting she might be about to take a picture or is pausing for a moment.

Her arms are positioned in front of her chest, holding the camera, which draws attention to the camera and her décolletage in the strapless outfit. The background is simple and dark, allowing the subject to stand out. In the upper left corner, a large, round wall clock is visible, blurred slightly but showing the hands, likely indicating a time just past the hour. This element reinforces the retro/vintage setting.

In summary, the photograph is a striking, high-contrast, black and white portrait celebrating a classic 1950s pin-up aesthetic, defined by the subject's style, makeup, and the presence of a vintage film camera.

REMEMBER to change up the description to match you. Change your outfit and have fun!

If attaching a photo - "Using my photo I attached" instead of triggerword. And add "Keep the woman’s facial features the same as the photo, unchanged, sharp and visible" at the end.
