Marcus, bike repair-shop owner seated smiling

Marcus, a Black small-business owner in Indianapolis sits in a lightweight wheelchair beside the front counter of his bike repair shop, greeting a customer with an easy smile. Heather henley under a navy work apron, close-cropped hair, medium-brown skin, strong forearms dusted with a hint of grease, relaxed build. Depth layering places a softly blurred wheel rack foreground, Marcus in sharp focus mid-frame, and a muted pegboard wall behind; focus sits on his face and hands resting on the chair’s push rims. Soft, even wrap that flatters skin with a gentle edge that separates him from the counter and tools. Light context includes a register, a multitool, and a neatly stacked parts bin. Eye-level, normal FOV with a welcoming open-shoulder angle and breathable negative space. Modern commercial photograph with natural color and a clean, friendly grade. — Crop: three-quarter (seated).
