Studio portrait of a striking pale red-haired woman, translucent skin and unfilled brows, tight on the head and shoulders, the whole frame flooded by one hot coral gelled source so the skin, the hair and the ground behind are all the same hue. The ground graduates from near-black in the corners to a pale bloom of the same hue behind one shoulder. A long exposure with lateral movement: the drag runs a blunt bob with hard specular streaks in the combed direction in smooth horizontal bands that fade out toward the frame edge, while the other side of the face, the ear and the shoulder stay sharp. Rightward across both eyes. Black-and-white striped pleated skirt · chrome or enamel ear cuffs · striped goggles. Fine grain throughout. One hue family only. Composed and inward, eyes nearly closed, the face relaxed and entirely still. The camera holds still while the light travels slowly across the frame from one side to the other. One continuous take, held to the end, the grade and the framing staying exactly as described for the whole shot.
