About

This black-and-white portrait captures an elderly man with long, light-coloured hair standing inside a rustic workshop. He wears a grey tank top with a circular graphic and a respirator mask hanging loosely around his neck. The background is filled with several tall surfboards stacked vertically along the wall and work surfaces lit by an interior light strip. The composition is shot in monochrome with natural lighting, highlighting the textures of dust and materials in the workspace.
