A real photograph in the observational documentary genre, captured on 35mm film with a 35mm lens at f/5.6 for generous depth of field and open visible grain. A single soft overcast daylight key from high front falls evenly across surfaces with loose open shading gathering lightly under ledges and folds, finished in a plain desaturated grade with honest midtone contrast and unpolished texture. Wide 16:9 frame. In warm lamp light at the round oak table a tall lean Black man in his early twenties with a coily twist-out with faded sides, a faint moustache and two silver hoop earrings in his left ear and a Samoan woman in her late thirties with warm brown skin, a long black braid, pearl stud earrings and a thin scar through her left eyebrow sit opposite each other playing a card game, the third housemate fanning a hand of plain-backed cards close to his chest with a small grin while the first housemate lays a card face down on a pile in the middle, a bowl of nuts and two mugs beside the cards, seen from the side at eye level and framed from the waist up. Each hand has five digits. The third housemate wears a navy hoodie and the first housemate wears a mustard cardigan. No readable words, numbers, logos or brand marks appear; every letter, label, card face and parcel is blank or plain colour. The kitchen is one yellow kitchen with a round oak table, four wooden chairs, a tall window and a hanging lamp.
