Sophie Le Gendre, Photographer, Paris

About

This black and white photograph by photographer Sophie Le Gendre captures a candid moment in Paris featuring two boys standing on the bow of a small boat named Saiga. The foreground figure stands with arms outstretched, eyes closed, wearing a dark sweater and shorts, while the second boy stands closely behind him with hands positioned supportively at his waist. The boat is moored near a sandy or light-toned shore, with another boat visible to the right. The composition is set under a bright, partly cloudy sky, utilising natural light and a high-contrast monochrome palette to emphasize textures on the watercraft and subjects.
