A professional actor headshot of a scholarly male model, photographed against a rich mahogany studio backdrop. The model is dressed in a tweed blazer with elbow patches over a burgundy sweater vest, his graying brown hair styled in a classic side part with a well-maintained full beard and vintage wire-rim glasses. The warm lighting creates an intellectual ambiance while he displays a thoughtful, gentle smile with wise brown eyes behind his lenses, ideal for professor and mentor character casting.
