Gritty Historical Realism Style, Cinematic Film Photography, Natural Daylight. A powerful, candid medium shot of the infamous pirate duo, Anne Bonny and Mary Read, standing side-by-side on the weathered wooden deck of the sloop Revenge in the Caribbean Sea (circa 1720).

The Subjects: Both are dressed in practical, worn 18th-century male sailor's attire—loose canvas breeches, oversized linen shirts, heavy leather waistcoats, and bandanas—scruffy clothing that disguises their gender at a distance but reveals them as fiercely capable women upon closer inspection. Their faces are sun-weathered, dirty, and determined.

Specific Details: Anne Bonny (left) has fiery red hair escaping a dark bandana and a tricorn hat pushed back; she holds a drawn cutlass and has a defiant, volatile expression. Mary Read (right) looks sturdier, wearing a heavy wool coat, arms crossed over her chest with two flintlock pistols visible in her sash, looking steady and calculating.

The Setting: The background is a chaotic, working pirate ship deck with coils of tarred rope, rigging, barrels, and a cannon. Beyond the rail is the turquoise ocean and a hazy tropical coastline. The lighting is harsh, midday sun, with salt spray in the air. The mood is tense, rebellious, and authentic. Film grain texture.
