He is wearing a dark charcoal textured double-breasted long overcoat, a silky gray unbuttoned shirt, black trousers, and dress shoes. He is wearing orange-tinted sunglasses. His left hand is in his pocket. Harsh, highly directional midday sunlight casts deep, defined shadows on the paved road. The background features classical Italian architecture with ornate stone details and metal bollards on the sidewalk. Shot with a 50mm lens, tack sharp focus on the subject, photorealistic, high contrast.",
