Replace “soft side lighting with gentle, contemplative shadows across the cheekbones and brow” with “hard directional side lighting, deep sculptural shadows, and a narrow rim light along the straw hair.” Change “warm, solemn, contemplative” to “severe, mysterious, high-contrast,” and replace “cool muted sage-green studio backdrop” with “deep charcoal-gray studio backdrop.”

Replace “portrait-closeup” with “extreme macro close-up of the beard, cheek, and eye area,” and change “shallow depth of field” to “focused detail across every woven fiber.” Add “individual reed strands, frayed plant fibers, layered braid structure, and sharply resolved pores suggested by the weave,” while keeping “ultra-crisp tactile handcrafted fiber texture.”

Keep “front-facing,” “centered composition,” “muted sage-green studio backdrop,” “soft side lighting,” and “museum-quality fine art sculptural still-life aesthetic” unchanged for visual consistency. Swap “an older bearded man’s face” and “swept-back hair, a full mustache and beard” for a new subject such as “an elderly woman with braided hair and prominent cheekbones,” then replace “woven straw, reeds, and plant fibers” with a controlled material variation such as “woven willow, dried grasses, and pale flax fibers.”
