A posed Christmas portrait in a darkened bedroom. The woman lies on her stomach on a wide, soft, plush red bedspread, propped up on her elbow and lightly touching her chin with her fingers. Her body is turned toward the camera, and her gaze is directed slightly to the left of the lens. She is centered in the lower third of the frame. The shot is taken from a waist-up angle, with the focus entirely on the woman in the foreground.The background is darkened by the flash, illuminating only the woman. The light falls off sharply and immediately disappears behind her, leaving the rest of the room in deep shadow. Background elements are barely discernible, appearing only as faint, soft bokeh dots with no illumination of the subject.A small, warm, micro-garland lies on the bed in front of the woman, giving her arm and the foreground a subtle yellowish tint without illuminating the room.Her hair is neatly combed back and gathered into a high ponytail, with a bright red ribbon at the base. Her skin is matte and even-toned, and her eyelashes are coated with black mascara.Her long, almond-shaped nails are painted a glossy, bright red. She wears red silk pajamas, consisting of a long-sleeved shirt and pants with white trim. She wears red wool socks. Around her neck is a thin chain with tiny pendants, and on her wrist is a thin bracelet.In front of her stands a glass stemmed bowl filled with brightly wrapped Christmas candies. Scattered around it are red, silver, gold, and blue Christmas tree baubles. A garland on the bed adds a small, localized, warm glow to the bottom of the frame. All foreground elements are in sharp focus.In the dark background stands a tall Christmas tree with silver and red ornaments and ribbons, the lights visible only as a faint, warm bokeh. To the left is a bedside table with decorative glass domes, but it is almost completely hidden in deep shadow. A large window depicting a snowy winter night is softly blurred, but it doesn't let any light into the room; outside, faint silhouettes of snow-covered fir trees and falling snow can be seen in the distance.The style is distinguished by high detail and photorealism. Shot on a film camera with flash.
