Peter Rigaud, Photographer, Paris

Description

An elderly man with white hair and glasses stands centrally, wearing a dark suit jacket over a blue shirt. He reaches out with both hands to part heavy, textured dark blue velvet curtains that frame the scene. The parting of the drapery reveals a stark, bright white background behind him. The shot is captured with a direct flash lighting style, creating sharp shadows and highlighting the rich pile of the velvet fabric. This striking portrait was photographed in Paris by Peter Rigaud.
