Pieter Hugo, Photographer, Cape Town

Description

This photographic portrait captures a person with long dark hair seated against a plain neutral background. The subject is wearing a dark denim jacket and matching trousers featuring a repeating patterned design with contrast stitching. Smoke drifts from their mouth and from the cigarette held in their raised hand, while another ashtray with cigarette butts rests nearby. The lighting is soft and directional, highlighting the textures of the fabric and the smoke wisps in the air. The composition emphasizes a candid, expressive moment captured by photographer Pieter Hugo.
