A medium shot photograph of two people sitting at a table in a dimly lit room, silhouetted against a bright window. The room has a high ceiling with exposed beams and a dark, industrial aesthetic. The two people are seated facing each other, engaged in conversation or working on something at the table. They appear to be indoors, possibly in a cafe or workspace, with large windows providing a stark contrast between the dark interior and the bright outside light. The image emphasizes the silhouettes of the people and the architectural details of the room.
