Lebanese man studio portrait, seated

A thoughtful studio portrait photograph of a 40 year old Lebanese man with very fair alabaster skin and neatly trimmed dark beard. He sits slightly off center, leaning forward with his forearms resting on his knees and his hands loosely interlaced, hanging between his legs. His chin is tipped down a little while his eyes lift up to lock with the camera in a conspiratorial way, lips parted as if about to share a secret. He wears a navy button down shirt with the sleeves rolled up and slim charcoal trousers, and a simple leather bracelet wraps his wrist as a subtle prop.

Soft top light with a gentle front fill traces the bridge of his nose and forehead and lets the sides of his face fall into mild shadow, making his pale skin appear sculpted. The background is a smoky espresso brown, softly diffused and darker at the edges, which adds warmth without drawing attention away from his face. The framing is from mid thigh upward, keeping his leaning posture and clasped hands in view, so the body language feels engaged and conversational. The overall feeling is intimate, grounded, and quietly confident.
