This extremely close-up, heavily out-of-focus portrait captures a young woman named Penelope at what appears to be a nighttime event or party. Shot on a Canon EOS 20D with an 85mm lens, the shallow depth of field and motion blur have rendered the entire frame soft, giving the image a dreamlike, impressionistic quality. The subject wears a striking red earring that pops against the dark background, and her hair falls partially across her face. The mood is intimate and slightly mysterious, evoking the romantic atmosphere of a Valentine's Day gathering. The warm skin tones contrast with the dark surrounding environment, typical of indoor event photography.
