Cinematic studio portrait of a rugged pirate captain in his mid-30s with long, dark wavy hair, a black bandana with a skull-and-crossbones emblem and gold trim tied around his forehead, a thick well-groomed dark beard, and intense, focused eyes gazing off to the side. A colorful macaw parrot with vivid blue, yellow, and green plumage perches on his shoulder, talons gripping the fabric of his dark embroidered coat.
He wears a dark navy jacket with ornate gold floral embroidery on the chest and sleeve, a leather cross-body strap with brass buttons, layered cord necklaces with a metal pendant at his throat, beaded bracelets and rings on one hand raised toward his chest, tattooed forearm visible beneath a rolled-up sleeve. Background: pure black, completely dark and featureless, isolating the figure.
Lighting: dramatic low-key studio light from the front-left, sculpting his face, beard, and the parrot's vivid feathers with sharp highlight-to-shadow contrast, everything else falling into deep shadow. Mood: fierce, commanding, high-seas character portrait. Extremely shallow depth of field, tack-sharp focus on his eyes and the parrot, background pure black. Palette: deep black background, vivid parrot blue/yellow/green, warm tan skin, dark navy and gold costume.
