Art style: photorealistic cinematic live-action, grim sunless north, natural grey daylight, shallow depth of field, near-monochrome with amber warmth accents. A clearly recognizable likeness of Hale — keep their real face shape, skin tone, hairstyle, build and any signature look (hair, kit, number). A pale, gaunt man in his thirties, his skin a bloodless salt-white. He wears sodden, tattered dark grey fisherman's clothes that cling heavily to his rigid frame. His eyes are wide open, blank, and unblinking. He stands completely stiff, locked in a subtle, unnatural sway. The setting is a frozen, sunless shoreline with jagged ice and dark water. The lighting is entirely cold and desaturated, highlighting his drowned, lifeless complexion and stiff, frozen posture. Full-length shot, head to toe — the entire outfit and footwear must be visible. Character standing in a natural relaxed pose, front-facing, face clearly visible. Plain seamless studio background, even soft lighting. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt): Render this image entirely in "photorealistic cinematic live-action, grim sunless north, natural grey daylight, shallow depth of field, near-monochrome with amber warmth accents" style.
