Eye-level view, square on and very tight, of a 29-year-old man alone sitting in the driver’s seat of a vehicle cockpit on a space station, gazing out at the Earth turning past the window while holding a coffee cup. The man has warm caramel-brown skin, a plus-size body, a long narrow face, amber eyes, sharply angled eyebrows, and a smooth shaved head dyed pastel pink with a full thick beard, beaming with a wide open-mouthed smile that lifts the cheeks. He is dressed exactly as the role of the brief requires, wearing a fitted white and grey flight suit with black utility straps. A crumpled white paper napkin rests on the center console, a small potted succulent floats slightly off the passenger seat, and a handwritten note is stuck to the sun visor above the driver. The framing uses a fisheye lens very close, causing the edges of the frame to bend, with the main figure cut by the frame edge so only part of his torso and head are in the picture. Blue hour light from outside the window mixes with warm lamp light inside, creating two colour temperatures that meet on the driver’s face. Shot on a medium format digital camera, the image shows sharp focus on the eyes and skin texture, with a slight chromatic aberration at the curved frame edges and high dynamic range capturing the bright Earth and dark interior details.
