Paul Schmidt, Photographer, Paris

Description

Monochrome portrait of an adult male in a patterned knit shirt. The man is shown in a side profile, with his face partially obscured by shadows. Soft, neutral indoor light illuminates part of his face, collar and the patterned details of the knitted garment. The shirt has a geometric pattern in contrasting tones. The photograph is in black and white, emphasizing the play of light and shadow and the texture of the knit material. The background appears to be a plain wall or window.
