A gown made entirely of clear running water, photographed as a fashion campaign picture in a tall black room lit only from the floor. Two hard lamps lie on the wet floor on either side of her and shine straight up, so the whole gown is lit from below, every falling thread glows from underneath, and two enormous shadows of her body are thrown up the walls behind her and across the ceiling. A naked woman wearing it stands with her back arched hard, her head thrown right back so her throat is the highest lit thing in the frame, both arms reaching back and down behind her hips, her weight forward on one leg. The lit pools on the floor are the brightest things in the picture. Everything above her shoulders falls away into the dark. Camera at knee height, tilted up. underlighting, two hard floor sources, giant cast shadows, extreme high contrast, deep depth of field. In the lower right corner, a pencil signature: Ziggy
