Fabien Dumas, Photographer, Paris

Description

An older man is seated in a dark wooden rocking chair on a slatted wooden deck, positioned in front of a plain grey exterior wall. He is completely outfitted in clothing and a matching hat crafted from crinkled aluminum foil, covering his shirt, trousers, and footwear. To his left stands a potted green plant in a terracotta container, while a light-colored wooden bench with a crumpled blue plastic tarp rests to his right. Two small square light fixtures are mounted on the wall above. The photograph, captured by Fabien Dumas in Paris, uses direct on-camera flash illumination that creates harsh reflections on the metallic surfaces and produces distinct shadows against the wall.
