This dramatically lit photograph captures a woman named Penelope in the driver's seat of a car, photographed from the passenger side. The image employs strong chiaroscuro lighting, with most of the interior in deep shadow while light catches her face and highlights her features strikingly. She appears to be glancing slightly toward the camera with a contemplative or slightly apprehensive expression. Through the windshield, an urban overpass or elevated highway structure is visible in the blurred background, suggesting a city environment. The wide 14mm lens creates a slightly distorted, immersive perspective typical of environmental portraiture.
