Sam Bénard, Photographer, London

Description

A man stands facing away from the camera at the edge of an outdoor swimming pool, adjusting his swim goggles with both hands. He wears patterned dark swim trunks, and steam rises faintly from the cool blue water around him under an overcast sky. In the background, lane markers stretch across the pool towards a low brick building and sparse trees lining the perimeter. The shot is captured at eye level with natural daylight diffusing across the open-air facility in London. Photographer Sam Benard documents the quiet moment with an observational approach.
