Dr. Zhanna Lyubykh is wearing a red shirt with a grey suit jacket and a necklace. She is standing in front of a dark generic background, the kind that photographers use to do head shots of people. Which this clearly is.

Dr. Persram has a beard, a bald head, and a smile. His background is blurry but appears to be green - perhaps outdoors, or a room with green walls, it is difficult to discern.
