Pieter Hugo, Photographer, Cape Town

Description

A man lies on his side in shallow, clear water over a sandy seabed, looking towards the camera. He wears a long-sleeved top and trousers featuring a distinctive green, black, and white abstract pattern. The bright overhead lighting creates rippling caustic patterns across the sandy bottom around him. The wide-angle composition captures the scene from an elevated perspective on a coastal shore. The photograph was captured by photographer Pieter Hugo in Cape Town.
