How Lulu frames a portrait
Light on the page.
Window light picks out the open book and the reader’s lowered face.
A gesture with a purpose.
One hand reaches for the shelf while the other holds a book. The gesture turns the body into profile.
Step back for the arch.
The figure occupies a small part of the doorway. The curve of the arch and the bookcases lead the eye back to her.
