A high-contrast black and white photograph in the gritty, moody style of Anton Corbijn, shot on grainy 35mm Tri-X film. The setting is 1980s West Berlin, along the western side of the Berlin Wall. The wall is covered in chaotic, colorful German graffiti—rendered in monochrome tones—but directly behind the subject, a large, bold word “BUZZ” stands out from the rest of the markings. In the midground, Polly is walking along the base of the wall. She is a very slender young woman with long red hair in braids, pale freckled skin, and striking light eyes. She wears a very short black-and-grey plaid pleated skirt, a very tight black tank top, ripped fishnet stockings, and a pair of worn-in boots. A weathered leather backpack is slung casually over one shoulder. The photo is taken from the side, capturing her stride, but her head is turned slightly toward the camera, locking eyes with the viewer. The background is stark and gritty—cracked pavement, faint fog in the air, and the towering graffiti-covered wall—but Polly is illuminated with a soft, directional light that separates her from the background. The overall mood is raw, moody, and evocative of Berlin’s underground culture in the late Cold War era. Film grain, deep shadows, and high contrast emphasize the documentary-style authenticity.
