The camera sits low on the veranda boards and looks up: the tall woman in the Halloween vampire costume fills the upper half of the frame, her long red hair drawn back into a braid that falls over her shoulder in a single heavy rope, the two loose sidelocks curving along her jaw, and her yellow ringed eyes looking down the lens from under half-lowered lids — one eye squeezed shut in a wink, the left brow lifted, the corner of her mouth pulled into a lopsided smirk with one small fang resting on the lower lip. She wears the costume as a black-and-crimson gothic aristocrat dress: a high standing collar framing her throat, a deep V at the chest, long fitted black sleeves ending in a flare at the wrist, the skirt gathered into a bustle over her hips and cinched by a wide red sash, and a single small bat-shaped clasp at the collar — nothing else adorns her, her ears bare and the collar's throat left open.
She leans forward a little from the waist, her weight through the back leg, one hip canted against the wooden post of the veranda; her right arm is raised to lift a paper lantern so it hangs at her cheek, her fingers closed around the wire handle above the red paper body, thumb hooked over the grip, the lantern's glow striking the underside of her chin, catching the red of her hair and the black satin of her sleeve. Her left hand is tucked loosely behind her back. The lantern is lit and the red paper glows translucent at its ribs, the black kanji brushed across the paper stretching with the curvature of the cylinder and dimming where the wire hoop crosses it; the light throws a soft red pool onto the boards below her and a long shadow of her bustle and braid back across the tatami behind.
Behind her the Japanese inn at night: the shoji panels of the corridor slide open to a warm-lit interior, a dark wooden post at the frame's left edge, the veranda boards running away into darkness, a stone lantern under the maples off in the garden where a few maple leaves have drifted onto the steps and lie only on the upward-facing surfaces. The only two lights are the paper lantern and the warm corridor glow behind her, everything beyond them sinking into a deep indigo night; the cold blue moonlight rims the eaves and her shoulder from above.
Palette: black and crimson on the costume, warm amber from the lantern, deep indigo around the edges, the red hair reading brighter where the lantern catches it. The look is a sly Halloween mischief, half-warm and half-bloodless.
