Cecil Arp, Photographer, Berlin

About

This black and white portrait by photographer Cecil Arp in Berlin features an elderly couple embracing tightly. Both individuals are smiling warmly, with visible wrinkles and expressive facial details. The composition includes a soft, translucent double-exposure reflection layered across the upper portion of the frame. The lighting is gentle and directional, accentuating the textures of their clothing and hair. The shallow depth of field keeps the focus squarely on the emotional connection between the pair.
