Description

An adult man stands in a refrigerated storage area, surrounded by shelves filled with large cuts of dry-aged raw beef. The man has light skin and short hair and is wearing a light-colored shirt, a vertically striped blue and white apron, light-colored gloves, and olive-green rubber boots. He is resting his arms on the shelving units and facing the camera. The shelves around him are filled with cuts of beef that vary in size and shape, some with visible bones. The room appears to be cold storage, with a utilitarian aesthetic. The lighting is bright and even, highlighting the textures of the meat. The camera captures the scene at eye level and in a medium shot.
