Triptych — three vertical film-still panels in a row, one continuous warm cinematic grade, Portra 400 grain. The SAME male face in all three, recognizably identical features, different era and role each panel. Panel 1: noir detective, fedora, smoke, hard directional key carving cheekbone shadow, low-key. Panel 2: 1970s man, wide collar, sideburns, sun-flooded amber haze, soft window light. Panel 3: present-day man, plain tee, cool overcast daylight from camera-left, natural skin texture, pores visible. Thin 6mm dark seam #221C17 splits panels. Palette: burnt sienna #B5603A, wheat highlight #E8C98E, near-black #221C17. Distinct cinematic light per panel, unified warm grade across all. Camera: matched medium close-up, eyeline level, 50mm feel, faces fill each frame. Three film genres aesthetic.
