Yahata Umiri, umiri_stage_costume, with long straight black hair and teal eyes, wearing a black waistcoat with gold trim, a row of gold buttons and gold swirl embroidery, a dark red short capelet with gold edges over a cream blouse with a high collar and a row of small buttons at the throat, cream coloured shorts, black thigh-high boots, short black gloves on both hands, black elongated crystal drop earrings, with a small sapphire brooch pinned on the waistcoat. The set has just ended and she has walked back from the front of the stage. A white electric guitar still hangs from a worn strap over her shoulder, its body resting against her hip, her left hand wrapped around the neck of the instrument with her fingertips pressing down on the strings below the headstock, her right arm hanging at her side. She has turned back over her shoulder to look into the camera with a tired, satisfied half smile. Along the bottom edge of the frame, thrown out of focus: a short row of dark grey effect pedals on the scuffed stage floor, a coiled instrument cable looping between them, and a plain unlabelled water bottle with no print and no coloured label, set down beside the pedals. Behind her the stage stands empty after the show. The tall crimson curtain has been drawn back to one side, a single work lamp burns high up in the flies, and beyond the edge of the boards the rows of empty seats rise into the dark, only a few small aisle lights still lit. The walls and the balcony fronts are plain dark surfaces with no plaques, no banners and nothing written on them. A cool work light from high above picks out the rim of her hair, the gold trim and the curve of the guitar, while warm light spills in from the wings behind her, leaving the front of her body in soft shadow. Framed from the hip up, she stands just left of centre and fills most of the frame height, the guitar cutting a diagonal across the lower half of the picture. A painterly anime illustration with visible brushwork and rich tonal depth, cinematic lighting, volumetric light drifting in the air, rim lighting along her hair and shoulders, strong foreground depth, shallow depth of field, fine film grain. Absolutely no letters, characters or numbers appear anywhere in this image: every sign, poster, label and package is plain abstract colour with no writing on it.
