Chantal Elisabeth Ariens, Photographer, Paris

Description

This black-and-white photograph features an adult female floating in dark water, creating an ethereal and dreamlike scene. The woman is seen partially submerged with arms extended, with her form softly blurred by the water. The background features dark and still water, and in the upper portion of the frame, a few lily pads add to the natural setting. The monochrome palette enhances the dreamlike quality, with the bright skin contrasting against the dark water. The photograph has a vintage or fine art feel. The lighting is soft, and the camera seems to be positioned at eye level.
