perhaps mid-conversation or selecting a record prompts

A half-body portrait in Jarmusch's nocturnal style: A woman poses in the back room of an underground vinyl record store, surrounded by stacks of albums. The frame captures her from mid-thigh up, standing amid towers of vintage records. She wears a worn-in black denim jacket over a faded cropped band t-shirt its print barely discernible in the low light, showing a toned, flat belly with clearly visible abs. The scene is predominantly black and white, but with subtle hints of midnight blue from a neon 'JAZZ' sign partially visible through beaded curtains. Warm sepia tones emerge from the aged record sleeves, creating gentle color accents in the shadows. The lighting is soft and diffused, coming from a single bare bulb above, casting gentle shadows that trace the geometric patterns of the record stacks. Her pose is natural, perhaps mid-conversation or selecting a record, capturing that unguarded Jarmusch moment between actions. Shot with characteristic depth and richness in the blacks, while maintaining detail in the shadows to reveal the texture of the vinyl covers and worn denim.
