Black man early-60s studio headshot

Tags
In a wide 3:2 frame, cinematic editorial studio headshot photography of a Black man in his early 60s with salt-and-pepper close-cropped hair and a neatly trimmed beard, smiling gently with lips closed and calm eyes. Close-up crop from collarbone to above the head, slight three-quarter turn, gaze toward camera. Seamless near-black gradient backdrop, clean and uncluttered. Soft key light and gentle rim separation define facial planes, crisp catchlights, realistic skin texture with subtle film grain. Colors are deep charcoal and cool slate shadows with warm amber highlights on cheeks and nose.
