A very atmospheric shot – many hands grasping at a light source.
An apt illustration for an alien movie, or “The X-Files”.
Really love the lighting!

This photo is really interesting.

And to the people in the photo, the photographer is also a picture within a picture.
The window serves as the picture frame from both sides.
