Prompt
· English
Eye-level view, square on and very tight, of a 58-year-old man pausing on a city bridge at night, leaning forward to catch his breath. He is wincing with one eye shut and the teeth clenched, of Central Asian descent, with very fair porcelain skin with pink undertones, and a lean wiry build. He has a long narrow face, deep blue eyes, and sharply angled eyebrows. His dark blonde hair is thick and deep waves, but his head is smooth and shaved, with a neatly trimmed grey beard. He wears a dark blue wolf hoodie. In his hand, he holds a water bottle, steam rising from it, and his breath vapor is visible in the cold air. The wet pavement below reflects city lights. A neon 'EXIT' sign is blurred in the background. Wet patches are visible on the runner's sneakers. Macro lens a few centimetres from the surface, a razor-thin plane of focus. Clamshell light from above and below, an even glow with a bright catchlight in the eyes. Three main elements placed as the corners of a triangle. Shot on a medium format camera with a macro lens, emphasizing the texture of the skin and the condensation on the bottle, with a very shallow depth of field that blurs the neon sign into abstract shapes.
