Instant Film
Soft flash. A photograph from a drawer.
Inside the prompt
A snapshot from an old instant-film camera in a small apartment at night.
Light: a single on-camera flash, straight on and slightly high, soft but with a quick falloff, so her skin is a little bright and the wall behind her drops to a warm dark grey.
