Peter Rigaud, Photographer, Paris

Description

This monochrome editorial portrait features actor Stellan Skarsgard posing indoors in Paris. He wears a dark, heavy coat with a prominent collar, standing with his shoulder against a wall beside a tall, multi-paned vertical window that provides strong natural light. The lighting casts soft highlights across his face and hands while plunging parts of the scene into deep shadow. The composition uses a vertical framing with a shallow depth of field, keeping the subject in sharp focus while the surrounding interior architectural elements soften into the background.
