Cécile Smetana, Photographer, Paris

Description

This striking portrait captures the silhouette of a Black man against a bright, glowing sky background. He is wearing a light-coloured, long-sleeved button-down shirt and appears in profile with one hand raised near his head in a graceful gesture. The composition emphasises clean outlines and backlighting, creating a minimalist yet expressive aesthetic. Horizontal subtle grid lines stretch across the atmospheric background, adding a textural element to the luminous sky. Photographed by Cécile Smetana in Paris, the image blends strong graphic form with a contemplative mood.
