Golden Hour at a Nigerian Market: Elderly Artisan

Hyper-detailed, cinematic realism: An elderly Nigerian man stands in a bustling market bathed in warm golden daylight. He wears a patterned buba and sokoto with a matching cap; his weathered face shows wisdom and calm. Surrounding him are vibrant traditional crafts: wooden masks and carvings, brass sculptures, beadwork jewelry, woven baskets, and a colorful array of fabrics (Ankara prints and aso-oke). Clay pots, drums, and gourds adorn the stalls. Dust motes glow in the sunlit air; earthy tones of ochre, terracotta, and brown contrast with bright reds, blues, and greens. Shot at eye level with shallow depth of field, focusing on the man and the rich textures of wood, metal, and cloth, conveying a warm, respectful celebration of Nigerian craft heritage.
