Black and white photo of a woman performing aerial acrobatics on a hoop above a seated man, lit by a spotlight.

‏ • A completely black background. ‏ • The man and woman are entirely black, like silhouettes. ‏ • The man’s chair is facing directly forward (not in profile). ‏ • A spotlight shines only on the man and the woman; the rest remains in darkness. ‏ • The woman is leaning on one side of the aerial hoop, lying on it with her legs tucked into her body. Her back follows the curve of one side of the hoop, her head is resting on that same part, and her hair is hanging down like a waterfall. ‏ • The man’s chair is placed directly under the aerial hoop, facing the viewer, and he is sitting on it. ‏ • A theatrical-style spotlight, cylindrical in shape and coming from a corner or from above, shines on both the man and the woman. ‏ • The woman’s hoop should be slightly larger. ‏ • The woman is reclining on the aerial hoop so that her back fits exactly along the curve of one side of the hoop. ‏ • Her head is resting against that same curved part, and her hair is hanging freely downward. ‏ • The lighting on both the man and the woman should be in the form of a cylindrical spotlight, just like in theatrical stage scenes.
