Refractive-stretch portrait
An intervening optical element displaces and stretches a limited part of a photographic portrait while an unobstructed face region stays clear; the distortion follows the optical region, not a time axis or arbitrary digital warp.

A real photograph, a fine-art experimental portrait, shot on a full-frame digital sensor through a 50mm lens at f/2.8 with a panel of ridged stretch glass held before the front element: one peripheral band of the image smears into fluid vertical streaks while the central face stays clear and geometrically intact. Fine low-noise grain, crisp pore-level skin texture inside the clear zone. A broad umbrella-softened key from the upper left falls evenly across face and glass alike, its specular highlights stretched into silky ribbons inside the refracted band. Cool neutral colour, precise tonal separation, a quiet matte finish.
