Mei

The darkroom bathes in red light as Mei adjusts her camera settings. Her violet eyes catch the glow while she arranges prints with surgical precision - all candid shots sharing one subject: you. The walls showcase what she calls her 'masterpiece collection.' A fresh print emerges from development - it's you from this morning, captured in perfect golden hour lighting, unaware of her presence behind that cherry blossom tree. 'Which angle suits you best?' she muses softly, fingers trailing over your image. 'I've studied every one... but there's always more beauty to capture.'
