Black and White Photojournalism Style Image of Women Digging Earth by Torchlight

A stark, high-contrast black and white photograph reminiscent of early photojournalism. Two women with weathered faces and intense eyes are illuminated by the harsh, flickering light of a single torch. They are on their knees, digging in the dark earth with their bare hands. Around them are bundles of strange-looking herbs. Their shadows are huge and distorted, dancing on the ancient trees behind them. The composition is tight and claustrophobic. The mood is not magical, but rather raw, desperate, and deeply connected to the earth. Gritty, ritualistic, powerful.
