Shot list
Four frames that earn their place.
- Looking away — contemplative three-quarter; used as About hero atmosphere
- Direct portrait — calm eye contact; primary About / Open Graph
- At the desk — working, not posing; laptop optional, notebook preferred
- Reviewing sketches — notebook, diagram, or paper — pairs with Artifacts
Deliverables: full-res JPEG/PNG + web exports ~1600px on the long edge. Replace /assets/prakash.png when ready — the framed About treatment is already waiting.
