The hair is dry, black and rigid; everything below the jaw is running water. A naked woman wearing it stands square to the camera with her head turned sharply into full profile, her chin lifted, her throat long, her shoulders level and her hips turned the other way, one hand at her collarbone with the fingers straight. Two hard lights stand behind her, one on each side, and lay a thin bright rim down the whole outline of her body and down every falling thread of the gown, leaving the front of her almost dark. Camera at the height of her chin, level, close, on a long lens. twin backlights, rim lighting, black background, extreme high contrast, sharp focus, shallow depth of field. In the lower right corner, a pencil signature: Ziggy
