Viviane Sassen, Photographer, London

Description

A striking low-angle close-up portrait captured by photographer Viviane Sassen in London features a Black man holding pale yellow sunglasses with tinted lenses up to his face. A bold, textured streak of vibrant magenta paint cuts horizontally across his forehead against a clear blue sky background. The composition employs hard, direct sunlight casting sharp shadows across his facial features and hands. The tactile quality of the paint stroke contrasts with the smooth acetate frames of the eyewear and the natural texture of his hair.
