Steep high angle from a staircase or a balcony above, looking down at a 23-year-old woman sitting in a salon chair with foil wraps in her hair, waiting for the developer to process, while a 50-year-old stylist in the background checks a color swatch card against a mirror. The woman has a short stocky build, an oval face with warm brown eyes and thin fine eyebrows, very fair porcelain skin with pink undertones and patches of vitiligo on her face and hands, and her thick coarse straight hair is cut into a blunt platinum-blonde bob at ear length. She wears aviator sunglasses, a navy-and-white striped long-sleeve shirt, and khaki chinos, with her eyes glassy with held-back tears and her lips pressed together. A small smear of purple toner rests on her shoulder. The stylist is a man of Southeast Asian descent with light olive skin, a full-figured build, and a very tall stature, featuring an angular face with hollow cheeks, hazel eyes, and high arched eyebrows. His soft springy coils are shoulder-length, dyed pastel pink, and gathered into a top knot, with a grey beard framing his lopsided smirk where one corner of the mouth is pulled up. He is dressed exactly as the role of the brief requires, wearing a dark apron over a black t-shirt. Behind the mirror, a half-eaten energy bar sits on the product shelf, and the reflection of a ceiling fan blade is visible in the convex mirror. The phone main camera is held close, keeping everything from near to far in focus, with a rhythm of similar shapes repeating at regular intervals across the frame. Light from a few candles creates a warm flicker on the nearest surfaces and darkness behind. Shot on a smartphone main camera with deep depth of field, showing natural color rendering and slight digital noise in the shadows.
