Diné jewelry apprentice headshot portrait

An 18-year-old Diné (Navajo) jewelry apprentice in Albuquerque pauses mid-polish, calm and attentive. Simple chambray shirt, silver stud earrings, turquoise ring as a subtle signature; warm medium-brown skin with a faint cheek birthmark; long dark hair in a low braid. The face fills the frame, and subject-plane focus resolves crisp irises, eyelashes, and natural skin texture with a clean outline around the braid. Light is soft and even, flattering skin and adding a gentle sheen to the stone for separation. Background remains lightly contextual with a muted workbench blur. Eye-level, normal FOV, centered composition with calm negative space. Modern editorial color photograph with a warm, true-to-material grade. — Crop: headshot.
