Striking Monochrome African Attire Portrait

Photorealistic black-and-white portrait of a dignified man wearing traditional African ceremonial attire. Chest-up composition with a direct, solemn gaze. Clothing features rich, intricate patterns inspired by bogolanfini (mudcloth) and kente textiles, with layered textures and precise geometric motifs. Multiple beaded necklaces of varying sizes drape around his neck, catching light to reveal their individual beads. Use high-contrast chiaroscuro lighting from the side to create deep blacks, bright whites, and crisp detail in skin texture, fabric weave, and beadwork. A subtle film grain and shallow depth of field isolate the subject against a dark, studio-like background, giving a timeless, ceremonial feel.
