A selfie captures a dark-skinned individual in Cotonou, Benin, on a bright, partly cloudy day. The subject, wearing a black headband, round glasses, a white polo shirt, and a dark blue argyle sweater vest, occupies the foreground, looking directly at the camera with a neutral expression. Sunlight illuminates the right side of the subject's face. The urban background to the left features a black Mazda CX-5 SUV (license plate BV 8074 AB) parked on a paver-tiled sidewalk. A person holding an open blue umbrella walks away in the mid-distance, with additional buildings and a street visible further beyond. To the right, an unfinished multi-story concrete building with exposed structural elements is under construction, accompanied by a pile of reddish-brown aggregate material. Two prominent yellow billboards advertise "33cl NOUVEAU FORMAT POUR UN ESPRIT PLUS JEUNE" in French, featuring beverage cans. A red hexagonal STOP sign is mounted below the billboards. Overhead utility wires are visible against the blue sky.
