Film still, close-up. The man from the first reference photo (Ellis, 42, ginger stubble, thinning hair, tortoiseshell glasses, blue Oxford shirt with sleeves rolled, lanyard) sits at his desk in a glass-walled editor's office in the newsroom from the second reference photo, a half-eaten sandwich in his hand, delighted and incredulous, about to speak. Cool daylight, warm desk lamp, realistic, cinematic shallow depth of field, subtle film grain. No text, no logos, no watermark.
