Punk Rocker Portrait with Placard

Close three-quarter portrait of a single defiant punk rocker occupying the center-left of a 3:2 frame, filling roughly half the frame vertically with headroom above and shoulders cropped at the lower quarter, holding a rectangular blank placard positioned in the lower-right third so the placard edge aligns with the right crop line. The subject has a neon pink and electric-teal mohawk with shaved sides, ripped black denim jacket with frayed edges, visible facial piercings and a curled confrontational sneer, skin texture and lip jewelry rendered with crisp detail. The backdrop is a graffiti-splattered brick wall that fills the upper two-thirds of the frame and extends to both lateral edges, with layered tags in saturated magenta, teal and rust that read as abstract shapes rather than legible text. Harsh side lighting from camera-left casts dramatic hard shadows across the face and placard, creating deep contrast and defined rim highlights on metal piercings, while a subtle fill keeps shadow detail in the jacket. Shallow to moderate depth keeps the subject sharp and the brick texture slightly softened behind, preserving separation and tactile mortar texture. Frame composition respects a 3:2 aspect ratio and poster crop, with generous negative space in the right third around the placard for text placement if needed.
