1girl, solo, tall, slender, long brown hair, messy hair, long face, big pink eyes, pink irises, plump lips, eyeshadow, glasses, medium breasts, wide hips, white cropped tank top, bare midriff, navel, denim short shorts, black opaque tights, black leather jacket, sneakers, standing, standing on train, train interior, riding train, holding phone, looking at phone, smartphone, smiling, closed-mouth smile, from side, profile, cowboy shot, three-quarter body, subway car interior, handrail, hanging straps, window reflection, overhead fluorescent lighting
A vertical three-quarter shot from the side, the camera at chest height and angled slightly from below so the tall figure fills the frame from mid-thigh to above her head. She stands in the aisle of a commuter train car, in profile facing frame-right, her weight settled on her left leg with her right knee bent and her right heel lifted inside the sneaker, hip cocked out so the wide curve of her hips and the back pockets of the denim shorts read clearly against the car's far windows. Both hands hold a smartphone up at chest height, thumbs resting on the glass; her elbows are tucked in, the phone tilted toward her face. Her head tips down and slightly toward the screen, chin lowered, one long pink eye catching the screen's light and glancing side-on at the display, the other eye half-lidded behind the thin metal rim of her glasses; the corners of her plump lips curve up in a small close-mouthed smile, cheeks lifted. Her long messy brown hair falls forward over her right shoulder in loose unruly strands, ends brushing the black leather jacket's collar, a few strands stuck to her cheek; the jacket hangs open and slides off her shoulders, its sleeves pushed to her forearms, the white tank top stretched across her medium chest and cut off above the navel, her bare stomach visible between the hem and the denim shorts' waistband, the shorts sitting low over black opaque tights that run unbroken down her legs to the sneakers planted on the ridged rubber floor. Behind her the train car recedes in one-point perspective: brushed steel ceiling panels, a row of grey-blue seats, a vertical stanchion pole close to her shoulder, overhead luggage racks. Her reflection appears faintly and darker in the window glass beside her, dimmer and a touch softer than her actual face. The only light is the car's overhead fluorescent tubes, cool and slightly green, running in a bright band down the ceiling and striking the top of her head, her nose and collarbone, with soft shadow pooling under her jaw, beneath the jacket's hem and down the inside of her legs; the daylight beyond the windows reads flat and cold and does not reach her. Palette of cool grey steel, navy seats, black leather, white cotton, ochre denim and the warm screen glow on her face, with her pink eyes as the one saturated point. Quiet, absorbed, ordinary-tender.
