Paolo Zerbini, Photographer, Paris

Description

This portrait by photographer Paolo Zerbini captures a young Black man smiling broadly inside a wood-paneled cabin or lodge. He wears an oversized grey and black plaid shirt jacket over a maroon hooded sweatshirt, paired with a dark green baseball cap and light trousers. A vintage floral patterned armchair sits in the lower left foreground, and traditional wooden skis and black-and-white photographs hang on the rustic wooden walls behind him. The direct flash lighting creates a candid, snapshot aesthetic with sharp highlights and soft shadows.
