A group portrait of Patrick Dupré Quigley and members of the Seraphic Fire ensemble, photographed outdoors against a backdrop of lush tropical trees and a partly cloudy sky. Quigley stands in the foreground, centered, wearing a gray textured blazer and light blue shirt, looking directly at the camera with a composed expression. Behind and around him, approximately 14 ensemble members are arranged in a loose grouping — some standing, some seated on a red velvet sofa — dressed in a mix of formal and smart casual attire in colors including navy, red, teal, blue, and gray. The setting appears to be a garden or landscaped outdoor space in South Florida.
