An exiled space princess inspects a smuggled starmap cylinder in a subterranean concrete corridor, her metallic lamé cape and tiara contrasting with the gritty urban shadows. Shot on Kodak Plus-X Panchromatic film with a Graflex Speed Graphic, the image pairs deep chiaroscuro darkness with the harsh, flattening glare of a direct press flash. Coarse grain from pushed processing gives the print its stark, tactile grit.
