He is wearing a long tailored black double-breasted overcoat, a black turtleneck, a delicate silver pendant necklace, dark sunglasses, and black leather gloves. His hair is styled in a neat slicked-back pompadour. The background features deep, bright white snow and distant blurred bare trees. Shot on an 85mm lens at f/1.4, resulting in a shallow depth of field with heavy bokeh. High contrast between the dark minimalist clothing and the brilliant white snow, cool winter color grading, crisp daylight.",
