Man at Erbil Market Among Copper Pots and Colorful Textiles

Photorealistic, cinematic scene of a traditional market in Erbil during golden hour. A middle-aged Kurdish man stands in the foreground among gleaming copper pots of various sizes, their hammered textures catching the warm light. Around him are stacks and drapes of vibrant textiles—silks and kilims in red, blue, emerald, and gold—creating a riot of color. The bustling bazaar features stone arches, ochre walls, wooden signs with Kurdish and Arabic script, and distant minarets. The man wears traditional attire: a white linen shirt, a dark embroidered vest, loose black trousers, a woven belt, and a patterned scarf around his neck. Dust motes float in the sunlit air as a breeze lifts fabric edges. The ground is cobbled; copper reflections shimmer on the stones. The composition places the man in sharp focus with the busy market softly blurred in the background, emphasizing texture, culture, and place.
