Rear view from behind and slightly above of a 67-year-old woman standing alone in a bus depot, grinning proudly with her chest out and chin up as she wipes down the window of a parked city bus with a long squeegee. She is of South Asian descent with light olive skin and a full-figured build, very short stature, an oval face, grey eyes, thin fine eyebrows, and thick deep waves of dark brown hair slicked straight back to ear length. Dressed exactly as the role requires, she wears a heavy industrial work jacket, sturdy trousers, and safety boots, with a red rag tucked into the back pocket of her trousers. A faded union sticker sits on the lower corner of the bus window. Behind her, rows of empty buses and yellow lockers fill the background, creating a repeating pattern that her main figure breaks. Dust motes float in the shafts of light coming from the high roof windows. The 85mm lens compresses the background from a few metres away, keeping the background soft while the subject remains sharp. The scene is lit by high-key light, bright white everywhere with only the softest shadows. Shot on a medium format digital back, the image shows crisp focus on the subject, minimal grain, and a clean, bright color profile.
