Pieter Hugo, Photographer, Cape Town

Description

Musician Patti Smith is captured in an editorial portrait leaning against a traditional white panelled wall with wainscoting. She is wearing an oversized black double-breasted blazer over a white t-shirt featuring handwritten text, dark trousers, and tall black lace-up combat boots. Her long, wavy grey hair falls past her shoulders, and her right hand rests on her head with her eyes closed in a contemplative pose. The lighting is soft and natural, emphasizing the texture of her clothing and the subtle grain of the interior setting. The composition is a vertical full-length shot shot in Cape Town by photographer Pieter Hugo.
