Stephan Vanfleteren, Photographer, Milan

Description

This striking monochrome portrait features an elderly man with a long grey beard and long hair, seated and draped in a thick, highly textured fur coat. Captured by photographer Stephan Vanfleteren in Milan, the image employs stark lighting and dramatic contrast that accentuates the rugged textures of the coat and the weathered lines of the subject's face. The man gazes thoughtfully away from the camera with a serious expression. The composition is tight and focused, set against a neutral, textured backdrop that enhances the timeless, documentary quality of the work.
