Dutch angle with the horizon tilted about twenty degrees of a 46-year-old man standing in front of a full-length mirror in a plain white room. The man has light olive skin, a short stocky build, and a heart-shaped face with a pointed chin. He has green eyes, soft rounded eyebrows, and large loose curls that are ear-length and dyed cherry red, slicked straight back. He sulks with a pushed-out lower lip and crossed arms, wearing a loose white linen shirt. His reflection in the mirror is a surreal landscape of swirling galaxies, replacing his face and body with cosmic nebulae and stars. Dust specks float on the surface of the mirror glass. The man's shadow falls on the floor, distorted and stretched by the angle of the mirror. A power cord for the mirror trails behind it on the white floor. The camera uses a phone main camera held close, keeping everything from near to far in sharp focus. A narrow flashlight beam picks things out of the surrounding darkness, illuminating the man and the mirror while leaving the room's corners in shadow. The composition places the man and the mirror next to each other so they comment on each other's reality. Shot on a smartphone main camera with high ISO, featuring slight digital noise, sharp focus across the entire depth, and a tilted perspective.
