Sam Bénard, Photographer, London

Description

An elderly man is captured walking across a snowy ground against the enormous, textured expanse of a deflated hot air balloon envelope. The man wears a bright red winter jacket over a dark grey sweater, light trousers, a black beanie, and sturdy winter boots. He is also wearing dark gloves and a knitted scarf wrapped around his neck. The massive fabric backdrop is predominantly white with a bold, vibrant section of orange fabric featuring radial seams. The lighting is bright and even, highlighting the nylon texture of the balloon and the snowy ground. Photographer Sam Benard composed this striking portrait in London.
