a black and white photo cowboy shot of chwNelly, a 20 year old woman, sitting demurely with her body facing the viewer on a long antique Chesterfield sofa while her head is turned slightly to the left and her eyes are looking at the viewer. she is a femme fatale with a platinum blonde 1930s wavy peekaboo haircut that covers her left eye. The woman has large jeweled pendant earrings and a black sequin dress with a plunging v-shaped neckline and cold-shoulder cuts. A shiny metal locket necklace dangles in the plunged neckline of the dress. she reaches up to put her hair behind her ear while looking at the camera with an expression of lust. she is mysterious and alluring. she is wearing a shiny diamond encrusted, ornate bracelet on her right wrist. The setting is a extremely dark underexposed black-and-white film-noir interior. ONE LIGHT SOURCE ONLY: a powerful hard light outside frame at camera left, shining through Venetian blinds. The blinds act as a gobo, projecting sharp parallel horizontal strips of light completely across the office. The woman sits directly inside this projected light pattern. The projected bands continue physically and consistently from the wall and furniture across her face, neck, torso, dress and legs, then onto the floor. Her body interrupts the projected light and casts a corresponding shadow behind her. She receives no independent lighting. No frontal key, no fill, no beauty light. The side of her body facing away from the window disappears into near-black shadow. Her silhouette is mostly swallowed by darkness. Only several narrow horizontal strips reveal portions of her eyes, cheek, chest, hands and legs; much of her figure is completely invisible in shadow. The background is a flat office wall. The middleground is the woman sitting. The foreground is a wood art-deco coffee table with a brushed-brass fluted-edge 1940s ashtray and closed leather-bound book
