Father and Baby Bonding

Studio portrait at home of a Nigerian male father in his early 30s holding his nigerian baby; deep brown skin, warm undertone; short tight curls, neatly shaped; trimmed beard; simple dark green t-shirt, no logos. He holds his 6–8 month old baby sitting against one forearm at chest height, the baby in a cream-colored onesie, only the upper body visible, one small hand gripping his shirt. Warm natural daylight from a window; shallow depth of field; background is a blurred living room with warm-toned walls and a potted plant, soft bokeh. The father looks at the camera with a big, real smile that shows his teeth and creates visible laugh lines; the baby looks straight ahead with a slightly puzzled but calm expression. Portrait orientation, 3:4 ratio, mid-chest-up composition; subjects centered, camera at eye level; full head and hair of the father and the baby’s head entirely inside the frame with a little space above; both shoulders and baby’s upper body visible.
