Close Portrait of a Mature Man with a Salt-and-Pepper Beard

Shoot a 4:5 close portrait of a man aged forty-five or older. He has upswept dark-brown wavy hair and a neatly trimmed full beard naturally mixing dark brown, light brown, gray, and white. Place the lens about 15 centimeters below eye level; he tucks his chin slightly, looks down toward the camera, and keeps his shoulders level. Use an 85mm lens to avoid enlarging the nose. Hard-soft light from above and to the side reveals the jaw, layers of beard, pores, and eye wrinkles against a deep warm-gray background. Do not infer ethnicity, nationality, profession, or authority. No aggressive expression, oversharpening, dye-blackened age texture, branding, hand gesture, or drifting facial asymmetry.
