Gothic Mourning Women on Cathedral Steps

Create a cinematic black-and-white fashion photograph of three women dressed in dramatic Victorian gothic mourning attire ascending wide old stone steps outside a monumental cathedral or classical stone building. The scene is shot in high-contrast monochrome with harsh sunlight and deep shadows, like vintage street photography or a noir editorial. All three figures wear full-length black pleated gowns, sheer black veils, long gloves, and layered mourning fabrics. The center woman is the closest focal subject, seen from behind and slightly turned over her shoulder, her face partly obscured by a translucent veil, wearing a fitted black bodice with puff sleeves and a long flowing skirt. The left woman is slightly behind in shadow, mostly hidden under a black veil, with her face intentionally obscured by a small dark rectangular blur. The right woman is farther up the stairs, walking away in profile/back view, wearing a long trailing black skirt and veil. The background shows weathered stone columns, masonry, steps, and a dark doorway or barred window, with strong architectural texture. Composition should be horizontal widescreen, documentary realism, elegant and mysterious, no text, no modern objects, no color, no watermark.
