Worm-eye view portrait of a man lying down with his feet and leather shoe soles protruding towards the camera lens.

Jonathan Llense, Photographer, Paris

About

This portrait by photographer Jonathan Llense in Paris presents an extreme low-angle perspective of a man lying down. The composition places the subject's heavily magnified leather shoe soles in the immediate foreground, leading the viewer's eye upward toward his body and face. The man wears a white collared shirt and dark pinstriped trousers, lying upon a reddish floor covering. Direct lighting casts sharp shadows beneath his legs against a plain wall in the background. The unconventional viewpoint creates a striking distortion of scale and form.
