Stephan Vanfleteren, Photographer, Milan

Description

This striking monochrome portrait features a Black woman in a dynamic martial arts or dance pose, captured with intentional motion blur to emphasize movement and energy. She wears a dark sleeveless top and trousers, with a cap secured on her head. The composition is set against a textured, neutral background with visible surface details. Photographer Stephan Vanfleteren employs high-contrast black-and-white grading and motion-focused capture techniques to create an atmospheric, expressive visual statement. The raw texture and grainy finish enhance the gritty, documentary feel of the image, shot in Milan.
