The stranger's arm
“My headshot has a stranger's arm in it.”
Vertical 9:16 selfie video, medium close-up, phone held at arm's length. a 41-year-old Black woman with dark brown skin, short natural coily hair, tortoiseshell glasses, a mustard knit cardigan over a black top and small pearl studs sits in a tidy home-office corner in the afternoon, a bookshelf and a potted plant behind her, window light from the right. She turns a second phone toward the lens showing a cropped party photo of herself with someone else's arm around her shoulder, raises her eyebrows and deadpans. She says: "My headshot has a stranger's arm in it." Slight handheld movement, soft daylight from the right, natural skin texture, shot on iPhone front camera, unpolished.
