Shelby Duncan, Photographer, Paris

Description

A vertical portrait captured by photographer Shelby Duncan in Paris features a young Black man posing outdoors on a city street. He wears a mustard yellow short-sleeve polo shirt paired with light-coloured plaid trousers and white sneakers, with one foot resting on a vibrant yellow fire hydrant. The low-angle composition creates a dynamic perspective against urban architecture, including street signs and traditional buildings. The lighting is bright and natural, casting crisp shadows on the pavement. The photograph has an authentic, candid feel with organic colour grading and fine grain.
