He wears a dark charcoal windowpane suit over a crisp white t-shirt, and thick black-rimmed glasses with yellow tinted lenses. He has short textured wavy dark hair with a skin fade and a neat goatee. Hard direct front flash lighting casting sharp, dark drop shadows onto the wall and a mirror to his left. The mirror reflects his back and a dimly lit room. He is looking directly at the camera with a confident, serious expression, hands resting loosely in his lap wearing a silver watch and rings. Photorealistic, 35mm photography, high contrast.",
