Sue Stubbs, Photographer, Sydney

Description

This vertical portrait features a swimmer resting their crossed arms on the edge of a swimming pool, gazing directly toward the camera with a calm expression. The subject wears a dark purple swim cap and vibrant blue goggles fitted over the forehead, with droplets of water visible on the skin and swimwear. The background consists of the deep teal water of the indoor pool, with blurred lane lines visible in the distance. The lighting is soft and natural, accentuating the damp texture of the subject's skin and the glossy surface of the swim cap. Photographed by Sue Stubbs across Sydney and Melbourne, the composition emphasizes a quiet, candid moment of focus.
