Flat overhead view of things laid out on a table, everything parallel to the frame, capturing a 49-year-old man of South American descent acting as a nurse in a sterile hospital corridor. The nurse holds a stainless steel tray with a faint dent near the rim, upon which sits a tall glass of iced tonic with lime. The nurse has fair skin with cool undertones, a soft heavyset build, a round face with full cheeks, and warm brown eyes behind reading glasses perched low on the nose. His hair is short cropped, dyed pastel pink, cut into a choppy pixie with tight corkscrew curls. He wears blue scrubs with a red cross logo on the sleeve, dressed exactly as the role of the brief requires. His expression shows one eyebrow raised high in disbelief, the mouth twisted. A small puddle of condensation from the glass has formed on the steel surface. The camera uses a 24mm wide-angle lens up close, creating strong perspective that stretches the nearest parts of the tray and glass. The main figure is cut by the frame edge, only part of the nurse visible. Broad light comes from a lamp on the side turned towards the camera, fully illuminating the wide side of the face and the metallic surfaces. Shot on a digital medium format camera with sharp clinical focus and neutral color balance.
