Elderly man in flat cap seated indoors against textured studio wall by Stephan Vanfleteren

Stephan Vanfleteren, Photographer, Milan

About

This black-and-white portrait features an elderly man seated on a stool inside a minimalist studio setting, captured by photographer Stephan Vanfleteren. He wears a flat cap, a dark jacket over a patterned sweater, and trousers, looking upward with a thoughtful expression. The composition is structured around a tall, vertical panel standing behind him and a draped fabric element in the lower right foreground. The entire scene is bathed in low-key, directional lighting that creates deep shadows and highlights the textured, granular surfaces of the walls and flooring. The monochromatic color grading emphasizes the tonal contrast and the tactile quality of the materials.
