Photograph taken from well above head height, angled steeply down at an exceptionally beautiful woman, high fashion casting, on a pale grey seamless ground that fills everything around her. Her head sits low in the frame turned up toward the lens, both forearms crossing up in front of her face with the hands open and the fingers extended. Fine rose-gold jewellery against clean matte skin — a thin chain at the neck, a flat bangle, stacked slim rings, a small ear piece. A plain black strap top. One very large soft source, almost shadowless, the faintest soft shadow under a wrist and under the jaw, the pale values held just short of clipping. Bone, skin, near-black and rose gold, with a soft red lip as the only saturated note. Half the frame is empty ground. Knowing and direct, eyes up into the lens over her arms, mouth relaxed.
