Pieter Hugo, Photographer, Cape Town

Description

A young man with short hair is captured lying horizontally in shallow, clear coastal water over rippled sand, propped up slightly on his right elbow. He wears a patterned long-sleeve top and matching trousers featuring an abstract design in mint green, dark brown, and off-white tones. The natural outdoor lighting illuminates the translucent water surrounding him, casting soft ripples across the sandy seabed. The composition is shot from a slightly elevated angle, capturing the full length of the subject's pose in a serene aquatic environment.
