Close-up black and white portrait focusing on a person's shoulder with the shadow of a flower cast across the bare back.

Alessandro Burzigotti, Photographer, Milan

About

This intimate black and white portrait captures a close-up view of a person's bare shoulder and upper back, shot from behind. A delicate, soft-focused shadow of a flower stem and blossom is projected onto the skin, creating an organic silhouette against the human form. The composition highlights the texture of skin and the interplay of light and shadow in a minimalist artistic style. Part of a photographic exploration by Milan-based creative Alessandro Burzigotti, the frame emphasizes stark contrasts and subtle tones. The image evokes a moody and contemplative atmosphere through its stripped-back, high-contrast monochrome aesthetic.
