Marguerite Bornhauser, Photographer, Paris

Description

This extreme close-up monochrome photograph captures a person resting their head peacefully against their arm, with fine grains of sand scattered across the skin. The high-contrast black and white grading emphasizes the textures of the skin, hair, and sand particles resting on the forearm. The composition focuses intimately on the relaxed posture and the tactile quality of the sand. Shot by photographer Marguerite Bornhauser, the image reflects a quiet, contemplative mood through dramatic lighting and deep shadows.
