Act: Dual Lighting Narrative Scene
A woman in her late 20s sits on the floor beside a spinning record player, bathed in magenta and teal light. She wears a silky slip dress and her bare legs are curled. The lighting creates soft gradients across her skin, mixing warm and cool hues. A few records are scattered on the carpet.

Shot on a Pentax Spotmatic with a 50mm Super-Takumar lens at f/1.4, the frame is rich with bold contrasts and textured grain. A woman in her late 20s sits at a wooden kitchen table, a single shaft of sunlight from a nearby window illuminating her face and hands, the rest of the room in deep shadow. She wears a thin-strapped slip, her hair loose and softly disheveled. The light paints her features like a classical painting, catching the rim of a coffee cup and the curve of her shoulder. Behind her, the darkened room feels almost stage-like.
