Nigerian man with albinism portrait

A powerful studio portrait photograph of a 41 year old Nigerian man with albinism, alabaster skin, and closely cropped bleached hair. He leans forward slightly in his chair with his elbows resting on his knees, hands lightly steepled together near his lips as he looks straight into the camera with a penetrating, thoughtful gaze. His posture is composed and grounded, suggesting he is listening intently to the viewer. He wears a burnt orange blazer over a black turtleneck, and a simple black beaded bracelet on one wrist adds a subtle textured detail.

Soft directional light from the left sculpts his face and hands, emphasizing the contours of his pale skin and casting delicate shadows that make his expression feel deeply dimensional. The background is a deep charcoal green, almost black at the edges but faintly green behind his shoulders, which harmonizes with the warmth of his blazer while letting his complexion remain the brightest element in the frame. The crop is from mid thigh upward, keeping his steepled hands prominently in view as a focal gesture that reinforces his engagement with the viewer. The mood is calm, authoritative, and intensely present.
