Beeswax Maker Portrait in Manzanillo Shop

Warm honey-gold light washes over the weathered skin of a man working inside a compact Manzanillo barber shop. The glow highlights the texture of his hands as he shapes beeswax, casting soft shadows against the cluttered counter. Condensation beads along the rim of a nearby glass, catching the flickering candlelight. He stands at the very edge of the frame, his expression focused and intense. The dry season air hangs still, visible only in the stillness of the dust motes and the sweat on his brow. one drop of melted wax rests on the wooden work surface beside his thumb.
