Midmorning Poodle Portrait in Erbil Room

A curly-coated poodle sits centered against a plain plaster wall, its muzzle shape and ear set clearly defined by soft north-window light filtering through a nearby opening. The animal's dense fur catches the warm tones of Kodak Gold 200 film, creating subtle highlights along the curve of its back and neck. A faint shadow falls to the right, at the base of the subject in the midmorning brightness of a late spring day inside an Erbil home. The composition avoids studio symmetry, leaning slightly toward a candid feel with the dog's gaze directed just past the lens. Clean surfaces surround the sitter, with no clutter interrupting the view of the textured coat and the smooth, neutral wall behind it. The eye-level framing shows the intimate presence of the room without any visible human figures, leaving the focus entirely on the animal's poised stance.
