Amateur phone photo of real people. The woman, a 29-year-old woman of Aboriginal Australian descent with very deep brown skin with cool undertones, soft black hair with brown glints, dark brown eyes, soft rounded eyebrows, a diamond-shaped face with high cheekbones and a small gap between her front teeth, short, with a stocky build, stands with both hands in her hair and her back arched, leaning toward the photographer with her lips parted as if about to ask him to take her while the strap of her dress has slipped off her shoulder and the fabric has slid down while she is oblivious to it leaving one nipple peeking out over the edge, wearing a dress that hangs low on her body, adorned with false lashes and glossy nude lips, intact, with her hair in a high ponytail. Her face is bewildered: wide uncomprehending eyes into the photographer's phone, brows raised high, lips parted. One person in the picture, one woman, and a part of the photographer at the frame edge, the man is the photographer: the photographer's arm reaches in from just beside this camera on its left. The photographer, a man, holds his phone in his big hairy hand covered by the sleeve of his sweater, small in the left corner of the frame, far from her, with the camera lenses on the back of his phone facing her away from the lens of this picture showing only the screen side of his phone and its edge toward the viewer, soft and out of focus. She poses for him as a frozen instant, teasing him on purpose and playing with him. A billiard hall by a pool table with green felt and balls, a lamp hanging low above. Vertical portrait frame, taller than wide, from straight in front of her at her eye level, she faces the lens, close shot from her head down to her chest, her face large and sharp, the frame cutting her mid-upper-arm. Amateur phone snapshot with the direct on-camera flash, flat harsh light, unretouched skin with visible pores, small blemishes and shine on her forehead, high ISO grain, slightly soft focus.
