Low angle with a slight tilt, the main figure towering against the ceiling or the sky, capturing a 72-year-old man of Caribbean descent sitting at a small round table in a 1920s barbershop. He is mid-yawn, the eyes watering and one hand at the mouth, looking into a hand mirror as he adjusts a silk pocket square. The man has light olive skin, a plus-size body, a very short stature, a diamond-shaped face with high cheekbones, grey eyes, and sharply angled eyebrows. His hair is chestnut-brown, long mid-back hair with loose barely-there waves, gathered into a top knot, with a few days of stubble on his face. He wears a light blue oxford shirt with rolled sleeves and tan chinos. On the table sits a brass tray with straight razors and combs. In the background, a striped curtain hangs, and a gas lamp with a green glass shade illuminates the scene. The shot uses a 24mm wide-angle lens up close, strong perspective that stretches the nearest parts. Strings of small warm bulbs overhead create many tiny points of light and soft pools below. A blurred object close to the lens in the foreground sits in front of the man, who is sharp in the middle distance. Shot on a medium format film camera, with visible grain, slight color cast, and soft focus falloff.
