Architecture student sketching outside library

A 19-year-old Indian American first-year architecture student sketches outside a campus library in Boston, thoughtful and hopeful. Relaxed canvas overshirt over a striped tee, straight chinos, thin metal watch; warm medium complexion; wavy black hair; a rolled blueprint tube and pencil as props. Focus anchors on the subject’s face and hands, keeping the sketchbook textural while the background softens for clarity. Light is soft and even, adding gentle catchlights and subtle cheekbone definition. Background stays clean with a blurred stone facade and steps that hint at academia. Eye-level, normal FOV, slight three-quarter angle, tidy framing with negative space to one side. Modern editorial color photograph with a refined, neutral grade. — Crop: half-body.
