Gautier Pellegrin, Milan

Description

This striking monochrome portrait features a young man holding a clear glass filled with water directly in front of his face, causing a dramatic optical refraction of his eye. The composition is framed vertically against a neutral studio backdrop with soft, directional lighting that emphasizes the contrast and textures of his hair, skin, and clothing. The subject wears a dark sleeveless vest over a collared shirt, adding a textured layer to the lower portion of the frame. Captured in Milan by photographer Gautier Pellegrin, the image employs a minimalist and experimental aesthetic to explore visual distortion.
