Sacha Goldberger, Photographer, Milan

Description

A studio portrait captures a man in a 17th-century costume against a solid brown backdrop. He sports a dark, full beard and moustache, and is attired in a dark velvet doublet with puffed shoulders, a golden ruff collar, and a matching plumed hat. A heavy gold chain with a large, ornate pendant drapes across his chest. He also wears decorative gloves. The lighting is soft and focused, giving the image a classic, painterly quality. The composition is a medium shot, focusing on the subject's upper body and face, with an eye-level angle.
