Her figure: She is a fully grown adult woman of 34, with a mature adult woman's face and a mature adult woman's body. A photorealistic photograph, natural skin texture with visible pores, shot on a full-frame camera with a 50mm lens at f/2, shallow depth of field. Her face shows real skin with fine pores and a soft natural sheen, her hair falls in fine individual strands that catch the light, and the whole background is a real place, photographed rather than drawn. A cobbled old-town street in Wrocław at blue hour. Tall narrow tenement houses line the street, their plaster painted faded ochre, dusty rose and pale green, with ornate stucco window surrounds, stepped gables and small wrought-iron balconies, and many of their windows already lit warm yellow. Tram rails run through the damp grey cobbles, which shine with the lamplight. Wrought-iron street lamps have just come on, and on the far side of the street a tram glides past, a long row of its windows glowing gold. Above the rooftops the sky is deep cobalt fading to violet. The palette is blue hour: deep cobalt and slate blue, warm lamp amber and gold, and faded pastel plaster. Framing: Eye level. The camera is at her eye height, a few paces off, looking straight at her. A black wrought-iron lamppost runs blurred and huge up the right edge of the frame, right against the lens. She stands a little left of centre in a portrait frame, seen from just above her knees to a little above her head: the bottom edge of the frame cuts across her legs just above the knees, and the lit facades and the dusk sky fill the frame above her. Scale and depth: She stands on the near pavement, close to the lens. The tram is far back on the far side of the street, small with distance and softly blurred, each of its lit windows smaller than her head, and her left shoulder passes in front of the rear of the tram, so that part of it is hidden behind her. Standing on the pavement is zaranyx, an adult woman of 34, with long wavy jet-black hair shot through with crimson streaks and deep blood-red eyes, wearing a tailored knee-length black wool coat hanging open over a black fine-knit sweater with a low scoop neckline, a long dark red hand-knitted scarf draped loosely around the back of her neck with both ends falling down the front, and slim black trousers, with heavy silver rings and a wire-wrapped raw amber pendant at her throat. Her heavy lids are lowered a little and her gaze rests on the lens, her plum lips closed in a slow knowing smirk. She is alone in the frame, the only person in sharp focus. Posture and light: Her weight is entirely on one leg, one shoulder dropped and the opposite hip pushed out, her chin level and her head upright. Her right hand holds a plain white paper cup of coffee with a black lid at the height of her chest, a thin curl of steam rising from it, and her left hand is pushed into the side pocket of her coat with the wrist showing, so both of her hands have somewhere to be. Her nails are short, neatly filed and painted black. The warm yellow light of a lit café window just off the left edge of the frame is the main light on her, falling softly across her face and the amber, while the cold blue dusk and the gold tram windows glow behind her, and the vivid crimson streaks in her deep glossy jet-black hair catch the lamplight.
