Seen as a reflection in a wet, polished surface of the bakery floor, the reflected image fills the frame, showing the interior of a closed bakery at 2 AM. The oven is still warm, and flour dust hangs in the air. A single lightbulb hangs over the counter, but the primary light source is the cold white light of an open fridge door, the only light in the dark kitchen. A 24mm wide-angle lens is used up close, creating strong perspective that stretches the nearest parts of the reflection. The composition features a very low horizon, with two thirds of the frame showing the ceiling or sky in the reflection. On the wire rack, a baguette with a score mark sits. A smudge of flour is visible on the glass display case. A handwritten sign on the door reads 'Closed'. Shot on a 35mm film camera with high contrast, capturing the sharp reflection, the dust particles in the light beam, and the cold tones of the fridge light.
