Pol Baril, Photographer, Paris

Description

This close-up photograph captures an artisan working with rich burgundy leather in Paris. A person wearing a pristine white shirt is holding a thin metal stylus, carefully tracing or marking the supple, textured surface of the hide. The shallow depth of field isolates the hand and the tool against the flowing, draped curves of the dark leather material. The lighting is soft and directional, emphasizing the smooth texture of the leather grain and the subtle highlights on the metal tool. Photographed by Pol Baril, the image offers a focused, documentary look at traditional craftsmanship.
