Photograph of a fiercely protective 70-year-old woman with copper-red hair in a red pin-up blouse, clutching a cash bag in a shadowy 1940s dressing room.

Hard studio lighting throws jagged shadows across a gritty cabaret dressing room, capturing the intense aesthetic of 1940s pulp magazine realism. Shot on a Kodak Medalist, the dye transfer print yields hyper-saturated reds and deep blacks, while the uncoated lens adds a subtle halation to the intense highlights.
