A 25-year-old woman leans against the browsing racks in a second-hand record shop, deep brown skin, tight coiled hair grown into a high shape with the tips bleached a bright copper, very sharp cheekbones, full mouth, a small beauty mark just above her upper lip and a long neck she holds tilted as she looks over at the camera with a slow half-smile. A wide shopfront window fills the room with soft overcast daylight from one side, even and shadowless, laying a gentle sheen along her cheekbone and the top of her shoulder and leaving the back of the shop to fall away gradually into dimness. The little sensor smooths her skin into something soft and slightly plasticky, loses the definition in her hair, and lets noise creep through the dark of her jacket. The shop is plain and crammed: crates of records with hand-written dividers, a wall of sleeves pinned up, a stack of unsorted boxes on the floor, a stepladder, a till with a jar of picks beside it, a poster curling off the wall. Compression flattens the far shelving into brown blocks and turns the window into a plain white field with nothing outside it. Colour is muted and slightly cool, the copper of her hair the strongest thing in the frame. Focus has settled on the record crate in front of her rather than on her face. The framing is casual and slightly low, cutting a shelf edge across the corner. The overall feeling is warm, unhurried and completely ordinary, an afternoon spent flicking through other people's music. low resolution, low quality
