Bearded Musician Tuning Oud on Backstage Flight Case

A real photograph in the observational documentary genre, captured on 35mm film with a 35mm lens at f/5.6 for generous depth of field and open visible grain. A single soft overcast daylight key from high front falls evenly across surfaces with loose open shading gathering lightly under ledges and folds, finished in a plain desaturated grade with honest midtone contrast and unpolished texture. Wide 16:9 frame. In a backstage corridor in low amber light a slim Middle Eastern man in his early thirties with olive skin, thick wavy black shoulder-length hair and a full dark beard sits on a flight case tuning a small acoustic oud with his head tilted to listen to the string he plucks, his other hand turning a tuning peg, the muffled murmur of a stage beyond a black curtain beside him and an instrument case open at his feet, seen from the side at eye level and framed full length. One hand plucks and the other turns a peg, exactly five digits visible or anatomically accounted for on each hand. The musician wears a charcoal sweater and dark trousers. No readable words, numbers, logos or brand marks appear on any poster, set piece, label, costume tag or equipment; posters and labels are blank.
