This shot is executed with a Leica M10-R paired with a Noctilux-M 50mm f/0.95 ASPH lens to capture the finest details in the dimly lit scene. The setting is a Victorian-era mansion, with the subject–a mysterious woman in a lace-trimmed dress–sitting in front of a grand, cracked mirror, her reflection slightly distorted as if trapped in another dimension. The lighting is minimal, relying on a single, flickering candelabrum, reminiscent of Stanley Kubrick’s ‘Barry Lyndon’ candlelit scenes. Each shadow dances across the ornate wallpaper, revealing hidden, surreal faces within the floral patterns. The atmosphere is thick with fog, diffused by a soft light filtered through a tattered velvet curtain, evoking the dreamlike quality of Salvador Dalí’s paintings. The woman’s face is partially obscured by a veil, and her eyes reflect the glint of a sharpened silver dagger lying on the table, casting an eerie light reminiscent of classic film noir.
