Ben Hassett, Paris

About

This portrait features Pharrell Williams submerged up to his chin in water, with dynamic light refractions rippling across his face. Shot by photographer Ben Hassett, the close-up composition highlights his detailed skin texture and thoughtful expression. The water surface creates dark ripples around his neck while bright caustic light patterns wash across his forehead and cheeks. Bold magazine typography overlays the top and bottom of the frame against a tranquil blue background.
