This personal fan art project features Michael Burnham from Star Trek: Discovery and was created as an exploration of atmosphere, lighting, and cinematic depth. Using photo manipulation techniques, I focused on integrating dramatic lighting effects and environmental elements to enhance realism while maintaining a strong sense of mood.

The composition emphasizes depth through layered lighting, color contrast, and controlled highlights and shadows, resulting in an image that feels immersive and visually grounded within the Star Trek universe. This piece was created purely for fun and creative exploration, allowing for experimentation outside of client or brand constraints.
