Night Portrait of Jungle Guide in Havana Neon

Red and green neon light washes across the weathered skin of a deep-jungle guide, illuminating rows of small mosquito welts on his forehead and cheeks. The man stares forward with a calm, steady gaze that carries the weight of long nights spent in the humid forest. A thin layer of night fog softens the edges of his face, diffusing the harsh electric glow into a hazy, colorful halo. His dark eyes reflect the shifting street colors, while the texture of his skin shows deep lines and sun damage. The tight framing isolates his expression against the dark, indistinct background of a Miramar alley, where the wet pavement likely mirrors the neon signs above. A final drop of condensation clings to his lower lip, catching the light.
