Wide low photograph tilted up at dusk, the whole surround pulled outward into clean ordered radial streaks that point away from a fixed sharp centre: kerbs, shopfronts and sodium lamps drawn into arcs, strongest at the frame edges and fading out entirely at the middle. A man stands sharp at that centre in a charcoal gabardine trench coat with the collar up over a crisp white poplin shirt, both hands pushed into his hair, chin lifted. The coat seams stay crisp where he is sharp and stretch into long lines inside the smear. Near-black tailoring over half the frame, dusk blue above, a few amber points. Cocky and self-possessed, head tipped back, eyes half closed, entirely in control of it.
