Photograph from slightly below eye level, tight on the head and one shoulder of a beautiful woman with deep brown skin and a high stacked afro, her face high in one half of the frame. The ground is a soft graded field, slate blue to steel, out of focus. Warm amber rakes her face from the front so her skin carries that hue against the ground, and silver and lilac is projected across her garment. A long exposure: lengths of metallic streamer is swept through the air on both sides of her and dissolves into repeated streaks radiating toward the frame edges, while she stays completely sharp, her own edge crisp against them. An open lattice garment over the shoulder and arm, the caustic breaking across its strands. A ranunculus. A fine sheen on the high planes only. Head turned back over the shoulder to the lens, level and unhurried, eyes steady, mouth closed and soft.
