Numero Netherlands ROOTS 2025

Description

Shot in stark black and white for Numero Netherlands, this photograph from the ROOTS series captures four young men resting against the textured parapet of a residential apartment balcony. The composition emphasizes the geometric brutalist architecture, framing the subjects between horizontal bands of pebble-dashed concrete and window shutters. Lit with overcast natural daylight, the subjects wear casual urban clothing, including sportswear track jackets and a striped t-shirt, with one individual shirtless. The low-angle perspective creates an intimate, candid atmosphere amidst the gritty residential setting.
