"Photorealistic 1:1 square professional headshot of a mid-30s South Asian man with short wavy hair and neatly trimmed beard, wearing a charcoal blazer over a soft beige crewneck (smart-casual), subtle pocket square, and a confident, approachable half-smile. Clean muted sage-gray studio backdrop with a gentle gradient; modern clamshell lighting (large softbox key slightly above camera, white reflector fill, faint rim light) for crisp skin tones and natural catchlights, shot on an 85mm lens at f/2.8 with shallow depth of field. Centered composition with comfortable head-and-shoulders framing, minimal retouching, true-to-life texture, corporate LinkedIn-ready stock photo quality."
