Vicky Grout, Photographer, London

Description

This portrait by photographer Vicky Grout features a Black man standing submerged up to his chest in an outdoor swimming pool filled with bright turquoise water. The water line cuts cleanly across the middle of the frame, creating a striking division against his upper body and shoulders. He wears a light-coloured collared shirt and fine chain necklaces with pendants. His expression is direct and steady, looking straight towards the camera. In the background, a dense line of tall green trees and foliage fills the composition under natural daylight.
