A young man, likely in his late teens or early twenties, stands outdoors in what appears to be a market or street vendor setting in Kandahar, Afghanistan. He has dark hair, a mustache, and is dressed in traditional attire: a dark patterned long-sleeved shirt, a grey vest, and a dark cap. He wears a turquoise ring on his right hand. He is holding two long, slender, bamboo-like poles vertically in his right hand, which are tied together. A string or rope extends upwards from the poles, out of the frame. He looks directly at the camera with a neutral, slightly serious expression, and his mouth is open as if he is speaking. His left hand is tucked into his clothing. In the background, there's a vibrant red tarp or awning providing shade. Several yellow jerrycans are visible on the ground near a stool to his left. Green trees and other foliage can be seen behind him, indicating a natural outdoor environment. The lighting suggests late afternoon or early evening. No discernible text is visible.
