Noir aesthetics

Noir aesthetics refer to a style characterized by moody, dark visuals often associated with crime and mystery stories. It features high-contrast lighting with deep shadows and bright highlights, creating a sense of tension, secrecy, and moral ambiguity. This style is commonly seen in film and photography, especially in genres like detective stories and thrillers. The overall tone evokes feelings of suspense, ambiguity, and sometimes pessimism, using visual cues like black-and-white imagery and stark lighting to immerse viewers in complex, often gritty worlds.
