About

A monochrome photograph by Richard Phibbs captures a man walking down a wet street while holding an umbrella. The subject wears a period-inspired three-piece tweed suit complete with a waistcoat, bow tie, pocket watch chain, and a flat cap. His long overcoat billows slightly as he walks with one hand in his trouser pocket. The background reveals a classic urban street scene with wrought iron fences and traditional architecture under a rainy sky. The lighting is soft and natural, emphasizing the textured wool fabrics and the wet pavement.
