Photograph of an androgynous model with a narrow face, bleached brows and a close crop at night, mid-strike over a drum kit, shot on flash-drag — a sharp flash pop lands on her and the shutter is then held open while everything keeps moving, so every highlight in the frame drags into a smooth ribboned arc and all the arcs curve the same way around her. One forearm and the stick in it stays semi-solid and readable through it while the rest of her goes unreadable. The empty area of the frame is one deep flat bottle green that owns it, and the ribbons run across it in white-hot and magenta, long and smooth and ribboned. The face left clean so the light supplies the colour. Cropped padded jacket · long fine braids · patent holdall with chrome hardware, caught mid-swing and dragging arcs of its own. Fine 35mm grain throughout with the highlights blooming, the pure saturation running higher than anywhere else in the lane. Euphoric and chaotic, loud and mid-motion and caught badly on purpose — the feeling of being in the room rather than looking at a picture.
