Close-up portrait of an elderly man with a beard wearing a flat cap and dark jacket captured in moody dramatic lighting by Stephan Vanfleteren

Stephan Vanfleteren, Photographer, Milan

About

This striking monochrome close-up portrait features an elderly man with a detailed beard and mustache, wearing a textured tweed flat cap and a dark ribbed collar jacket. The composition employs dramatic low-key lighting that casts deep shadows across one side of his face, emphasizing the weathered texture of his skin and the knitted pattern of his cap. Photographed by Stephan Vanfleteren, the intimate framing focuses closely on his serious expression and piercing gaze. The background remains dark and undefined, directing full attention to the sculpted facial features and high-contrast tonal range.
