A real photograph in the observational documentary genre, captured on 35mm film with a 35mm lens at f/5.6 for generous depth of field and open visible grain. A single soft overcast daylight key from high front falls evenly across surfaces with loose open shading gathering lightly under ledges and folds, finished in a plain desaturated grade with honest midtone contrast and unpolished texture. Wide 16:9 frame. In a backstage costume room in warm worklamp side light a tall lean Ethiopian man in his mid thirties with dark brown skin, a neat short black beard, close-cropped hair and a thin gold chain sits at a trestle table stitching a torn velvet costume sleeve with a needle and thread, a full rail of colourful costumes behind him and a pincushion and a tape measure on the table, seen from the side at eye level and framed from the waist up. His hands hold the sleeve and the needle, each hand with four fingers and a thumb, exactly five digits visible or anatomically accounted for on each hand. The tailor wears a white shirt with a tailor's tape around his neck. No readable words, numbers, logos or brand marks appear on any poster, set piece, label, costume tag or equipment; posters and labels are blank.
