A woman in her sixties in a kitchen, drying her hands on a tea towel, caught mid-laugh at something happening off-camera to her right. Late afternoon sun comes through one window on her left, warm and low, leaving the far side of her face in soft shadow. No other light. Shot on a 50mm lens at f/2 from slightly below her eye line, standing a couple of metres back, the counter behind her falling gently out of focus. Unretouched: visible pores, fine lines at her eyes, a few strands of hair escaping, an uneven flush on one cheek. Fine 35mm film grain, slightly imperfect focus.
