A bathroom mirror captures a self-portrait bathed in green fluorescent light, the kind that transforms ordinary spaces into atmospheric scenes. The figure stands in soft focus against the darkness, framed by vertical light and the ghostly glow of ambient illumination bouncing off tiles and glass.
Shot on Olympus Mju II with Cira 800 film, the high ISO stock embraces the low light with visible grain that adds texture to the shadows. The film's color response shifts toward cyan and green under fluorescent sources, creating an otherworldly palette that feels cinematic. The Mju II's sharp lens renders the light streaks with precision while the film's latitude handles the extreme contrast between the bright tube and deep shadows.
This is film photography at its most honest—no artificial perfection, just the raw interplay of available light, grain, and the unpredictable beauty of analog color shifts.
