Outfit: traditional Afghani-style matte black wrap and turban, with soft natural folds and a light texture visible under daylight.

Camera angle: eye-level shot with a slight 15° left tilt, framing from mid-torso up (not full body). The focus is on the face and upper fabric texture, with shallow depth of field keeping the background slightly blurred.
