A people-focused portrait captures a woman paused on a narrow stairwell landing, her body turned slightly away while her face angles back in a quiet side-glance past the camera. Tousled, shoulder-length blonde hair frames her forehead and cheek, and natural skin texture shows through with a faint mark near the brow. Her hands stay tucked in the pockets of a charcoal wool coat, with a black turtleneck knit visible at the neck; the heavy fabric falls in soft, weighty folds along her arm and side. A warm wall sconce above casts gentle light across the textured wall and worn wooden steps, while the background stairwell recedes into softer shadow, like a held breath.
