IPbF37, traditional media, 1970s \(photojournalism\), CCD Effect,Yelena Mikhailovna,
Inside a cozy, vintage kitchen, Yelena Mikhailovna stands near a tiled counter adorned with retro elements like a ceramic teapot and a bowl of fresh lemons. Her long, silver-blonde hair is pin-straight, her blunt bangs perfectly framing her pale, heart-shaped face. Her outfit is understated yet elegant—a sleeveless mock turtleneck in pastel mint paired with a high-waisted pencil skirt in soft peach. Her legs are highlighted by chestnut-hued hold-up stockings with subtle polka dots, and she wears square-toe platform sandals in metallic bronze, adding a touch of modernity to her retro look.
The photograph is shot using an 85mm lens with a wide aperture (f/1.8), creating a shallow depth of field that sharpens focus on Yelena while softly blurring the vintage kitchen details in the background. Her pose is natural and approachable—standing at a slight angle to the camera, one hand resting on the counter while the other holds a cup of tea. Her blue eyes meet the lens directly, her expression calm and inviting. The backdrop’s earthy tones—sage green tiles and wooden cabinetry—enhance the warmth and accessibility of the scene, inviting the viewer to connect with the model’s charm.
