Description

This monochrome portrait captured in profile shows an elderly individual wearing detailed traditional regalia embellished with numerous small ornaments and a single feather secured in dark hair. The subject gazes intently into the distance against a soft, overcast sky background. High-contrast lighting accentuates the facial profile and the intricate textures of the clothing. The composition is presented in a cinematic black and white grading. Photography by Jean-Yves Lemoigne.
