I think the lighting makes the photo because this series has the theme of film noir. In film noir, lighting is one, if not, of the most important aspects. In this photograph, the lighting reflects this concept by coming from a side of the photo (left side, slightly higher than the people). Also, the light is not direct, and it instead shines through blinds and a curtain. the curtain diffuses the light and the blinds create the striped effect. the blind effect is seen in many film noir-esque pieces. by doing this type of lighting, it causes the photo to have a type of mysterious and devious emotion. also the light gives the sense of passion in the couple on the right side.
