    48mm equivalent field of view.

  Composition:
    framed from mid-thigh to slightly above crown.
    Subject positioned slightly right of center.
    Left third of frame occupied by window and blurred exterior greenery.
    Window functions as integral compositional element,
    not merely a backdrop.

  Depth of Field:
    relatively deep due to small sensor and f/2.8 aperture.
    Subject remains sharp throughout.
    Grey wall behind subject slightly softened while retaining texture.

    Apple ProRAW rendering pipeline.
    No film simulation.
