Pieter Hugo, Photographer, Cape Town

Description

A young man stands outdoors on an asphalt street holding a skateboard vertically with one hand, captured in Cape Town by photographer Pieter Hugo. He wears a camouflage military-style jacket over a yellow shirt, light blue distressed jeans with a knee tear, white sneakers, a grey beanie, and a patterned scarf around his neck. The late afternoon sunlight creates strong backlighting and a warm lens flare across the upper frame, casting soft shadows forward. In the background, concrete overpass columns and blurred figures walking along the sidewalk are visible under natural daylight.
