Pierre Morel, Photographer, Paris

Description

An overhead high-angle photograph captures a man lying comfortably on a slatted wooden park bench with his arms raised and hands clasped behind his head. He wears a plain white t-shirt and light grey cargo trousers, with one sandal slipped off onto the red brick and stone paver ground below. The bench is situated on a paved sidewalk next to a low hedge and a grey utility pole featuring scrawled graffiti markings. In the background, an asphalt street and a concrete curb are visible with distant cars parked along the edge. The natural daylight casts soft shadows across the scene, creating an observational, candid street-level vignette.
