Vertical 9:16 cinematic film still, close-up. The man from the first reference image (keep his exact face: long face, receding ginger hairline, full ginger beard, tortoiseshell glasses, freckles, slightly heavy-set), Ellis Crane, 42, white British newspaper editor, wearing a blue Oxford shirt with rolled sleeves and a black lanyard (card turned away, blank). He sits behind his desk in a glass-walled editor's office, holding a half-eaten supermarket sandwich near his mouth, mid-chew, looking up off-frame with delighted, incredulous interest. Background, soft focus: the modern open-plan newsroom from the second reference, glass walls, muted wall TVs as blurred shapes, cool daylight from tall windows mixed with warm desk-lamp light. Only one person in frame. Realistic, natural skin texture, shallow depth of field. No text, no captions, no logos, no watermark, no readable screens.
