Jonathan Llense, Photographer, Paris

Description

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.
