Amateur phone photo of real people. The woman, a 27-year-old woman of Southeast Asian descent with rich chestnut-brown skin, dark brown hair, warm brown eyes, thick straight eyebrows and a square face with a strong jaw, short, with a stocky build, sits in the sand hugging her knees, her hands holding a glass as she drinks from it while the strap of her swimsuit has slipped off her shoulder and the fabric has slid down leaving one nipple peeking out over the edge, caught in a random candid moment where she is busy drinking, wearing her swimsuit with its colours and fabrics intact except for the shifted strap, her hair in a sleek tight bun, her makeup featuring glossy lips and a touch of bronzer, her face embarrassed to be caught: eyes darting to the photographer's camera, lips pressed in a sheepish grin, cheeks flushing. One person in the picture, one woman, and a part of the photographer at the frame edge, the man is the photographer: The photographer, a man with his age, build and male features, wears only his own clothes, holds the camera with his big hairy hand and bare hairy forearm small in the left corner of the frame far from her, the lens of his camera faces her away from the lens of this picture, toward the viewer only the back and the viewfinder of his camera and its edge, he stands over her just beside this camera on its left, blurred. She poses for him in a frozen instant of casual distraction, sitting in the sand hugging her knees. On the rocks at the end of a beach at sunset. From in front of her and high above looking down at her upturned face, medium close shot from her head down to her waist, her face large and sharp. Raw unedited phone picture, natural uneven skin with pores and fine vellus hair, true-to-life colours, mild sensor noise, IMG_4471.HEIC.
