I took this with an iPhone 11 Pro, using portrait mode and the “stage light mono” setting. Setting the focal point to 1.4 blurred the background, so that it looks like Noir is emerging from the heart of darkness.

Congratulations to my dear friend, Vera Dohrenbusch, for being in the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition 2017 -- second year running! Her work is dreamlike and peaceful. I am proud to be a collector and have it on my walls!
