Prompt
A real photograph in the studio genre, captured on a full-frame digital sensor with an 85mm lens perspective, moderate depth of field and a clean low-noise finish. One large softbox at 45 degrees camera left falls across natural surface texture, giving coherent catchlights and soft-edged modeling with a grounded contact shadow. A simple seamless paper sweep stays subdued; neutral colour balance and gentle tonal transitions keep fine material detail visible.
One wide 16:9 identity reference sheet of a Ethiopian man in his mid thirties, with his facial proportions, dark brown skin, high cheekbones, neat short black beard, close-cropped black hair, thin gold chain, the plain white tailor's measuring tape draped around his neck, tall lean build, apparent age in his mid thirties, built to hold his likeness steady rather than to flatter it. Across the left two-thirds stand five full-body views at matching scale with heads and feet aligned along two shared lines: front, three-quarter front, profile, three-quarter back and back. The upper right holds six head-and-shoulder studies in a grid of three across and two down: neutral, subtle smile, joyful laugh, focused, sad and surprised. Below them sit three close details side by side: the short black beard in profile, his left eye, and one relaxed right hand seen from the back with the four fingers loosely curled and the thumb resting alongside. Exactly five digits visible or anatomically accounted for.
He wears the same plain white crew-neck cotton shirt in every view, straight-leg charcoal trousers and plain black leather shoes with no marks or logos, both feet fully visible. Every panel sits on one neutral grey seamless backdrop in its own area under the same softbox light, and the sheet carries no labels, captions or lettering.
