Present Space Oliver Hermanus for Issue 6 2025

About

This portrait for the Present Space project Oliver Hermanus for Issue 6 features a heavily blurred, shadowy silhouette in the immediate foreground. The background reveals an urban environment with a repetitive grid of windows on a pale building facade and a distant Gothic spire. Shot vertically, the composition uses heavy softness and an out-of-focus perspective that obscures facial features and textures. The monochrome or desaturated color grading emphasizes the stark contrast between the foreground blur and the distant architectural lines.
