Park Ranger Val at Trail Kiosk

Val, a Latina transgender park ranger in her early 30s from the Yosemite area checks a trail map at a kiosk, poised and welcoming. Olive uniform shirt with a name patch, neatly braided dark hair, light-medium skin, subtle stud earrings. Depth layering places a trail brochure in gentle foreground blur, Val in sharp focus mid-frame, and soft pines beyond; focus sits on her face and the map. Soft, even wrap that flatters skin with a clear edge that separates her from the signage. Light context includes a ranger hat brim resting on the kiosk ledge and a radio mic cord. Eye-level, normal FOV with rule-of-thirds composition and clean negative space. Modern editorial photograph with natural color and a crisp, outdoorsy grade. — Crop: half-body.
