Description

This black and white monochrome portrait captures a young boy in profile as he pulls on the straps of a white water polo cap fitted with rigid plastic ear guards. Shot outdoors near a body of water under natural daylight, the composition focuses tightly on the subject from the chest up. The lighting highlights the texture of the fabric cap, his wet hair, and the solemn expression on his face as he concentrates on fastening the gear. The minimalist background features an open water horizon under an overcast sky.
