Description

This striking monochrome portrait features a fencer wearing a protective mesh mask and holding a foil horizontally behind their neck. The subject is dressed in traditional fencing attire consisting of a textured white top and trousers with padded waist straps and gloves. Dramatic lighting casts deep shadows across the figure, creating high contrast against the solid dark background. The composition emphasizes the sculptural form of the athletic gear and the focused stance of the individual. Photographed by Sacha Stejko in Auckland.
