Virginie Khateeb, Photographer, London

Description

A close-up, black-and-white portrait captures a freckled man in the act of eating. The subject has light blond hair and his face is marked by numerous freckles. The man is wearing a striped shirt. His mouth is open, revealing a partially consumed, light-colored food item. The background is a stark, solid black, which creates a high contrast. The lighting accentuates the texture of the man's skin and the details of his clothing. The photograph has a timeless quality due to the monochromatic palette.
