Six Black Shadows from Directly Overhead at Noon
A vertical top-down shot where people are nearly silhouettes, leaving only hard shadows cutting edges into the white ground.
✍️ Everything hinges on the last row of negatives: no soft lighting, no haze. For hard shadows, saying harsh light isn't enough; you have to explicitly switch off soft light and fog. Three men and three women, spaced naturally, with the count fixed so people don't clump together.

Photorealistic, cinematic top-down frame shot perfectly vertical, looking straight down. Three women and three men stand on white asphalt beside a stone wall, spaced naturally with room between them, full bodies visible from above. Render each figure as a near-solid black silhouette with barely any visible detail, hard against the pale stone ground. Light comes from a high noon sun: harsh and crisp, casting short, sharply edged shadows, deep blacks and strong contrast, with no soft light and no haze. Keep realistic stone texture and a minimalist mood. --ar 9:16 --profile umdg9wh --v 8.2
