A portrait taken with a single hard on camera flash inside a dark car at night: a young man in the passenger seat with his hand near his mouth, lit flatly by the flash while everything past his shoulder falls to complete black. Cool colour with a faint green cast, heavy grain, a couple of red reflections from the dashboard. Candid rather than posed, clearly shot from very close.
