View from under a table or shelf, its dark wooden underside forming a heavy band across the top of the frame, looking up at a dusty windowsill where a glass jar of white facial moisturizer and a white tube of sunscreen sit side by side. The air outside the window shimmers with extreme heat, warping the view of a tree branch and stretching long, distorted shadows across the white wall behind the products. A layer of fine dust coats the window glass, and the bright, almost blinding sunlight hits the metal cap of the jar, creating a sharp highlight. The scene is captured with a 35mm lens at a conversational distance, placing the main figure off-centre on a third, with the rest of the frame showing the surrounding wall and window. A single bare tungsten bulb hangs above the scene, casting hard warm light and sharp shadows below every object. Shot on a medium format digital back, capturing the heat distortion and the gritty texture of the dust with high dynamic range.
