Man sitting inside a car seen through the windshield reflection, holding a lighter to a cigarette

Mp Curtet, Photographer, New York

About

Captured by photographer Mp Curtet in New York, this intimate portrait shows a man seated inside a vehicle, viewed through the reflective glass of the windshield. The composition uses natural framing and soft, overcast lighting to highlight the subject's silhouette and profile. The man is captured mid-action, holding a lighter to a cigarette with focused attention. Reflections on the glass pane create a layered depth, partially obscuring the external environment while keeping the subject central. The muted color palette and soft focus contribute to an observational, cinematic aesthetic.
