Camille Malissen, Photographer, Paris

Description

An elderly man with grey hair and a beard is seated in profile at a wooden kitchen table, resting his chin on his hand. Strong morning sunlight cuts horizontally across the room, illuminating the man, a metal thermos, a blue mug, a glass jar of jam, and a loaf of bread on a cutting board. The rest of the domestic interior is cast in deep shadow, creating high contrast and highlighting textures on the wooden table surface and surrounding kitchen items. A shelving unit with various dishes stands in the background against a patterned wall. The photographic style is observational and natural.
