Joyce Kim, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

An elderly man stands outdoors on a driveway in front of a brick residential house, wearing a light-coloured shirt and a yellow apron over bare legs and patterned socks. He holds a black frying pan that contains active flames, with wisps of smoke drifting across the scene from the open doorway behind him. The composition is captured straight-on with natural outdoor lighting, highlighting the contrasting textures of the stone house facade and the manicured lawn in the foreground. Joyce Kim photographed the scene in Los Angeles, presenting a deadpan narrative moment.
