Hyper-realistic surreal photography. An intimate medium close-up shot looking through the golden bars of the giant birdcage. The young woman is now turned towards the camera, her face showing an expression of melancholic longing, eyes slightly tearful looking directly at the viewer. Her hands are gently clasping one of the metal bars. A gentle breeze stirs loose strands of her long hair and the eucalyptus leaves on the cage. The texture of her skin and the intricate lace of the Edwardian dress are in extremely sharp focus. The background ocean is softly blurred but still shows deep turquoise depth. You can only see the ocean, no islands, no beaches.ΓÇó Camera: Hasselblad 500C/MΓÇó Lens: Zeiss Sonnar 150mm f/4 (Telephoto for compression and portrait look)ΓÇó Settings: f/5.6, 1/125s, ISO 160 (Kodak Portra 160)ΓÇó Lighting: Soft Golden Hour light hitting her face from the side, sculpting her features and creating a catchlight in her eyes.
