A woman with golden-brown skin and a silver 1960s-style tunic stands in a vast, shadowy concrete lobby, captured in a grainy, vintage color photograph.

An ambassador from Mars, in a minimalist silver tunic, stands in the stark concrete lobby of an Earth government building. True to 1960s New Wave sci-fi, the scene uses available light and a candid, snapshot composition to create a gritty, atmospheric mood. The image reflects the distinct character of 16mm Ektachrome film: visible grain, high contrast, and a cool, rich color palette.
