Baptiste Olivier, Photographer, Paris

Description

This studio photograph by Paris-based photographer Baptiste Olivier features a close-up composition of a heavily weathered and textured wooden sculpture. Wisps of delicate white smoke curl through and around the jagged, fractured cavities of the wood. The lighting casts dramatic highlights and deep shadows across the rich grain and crevices of the subject. The background is a solid, deep burgundy hue that enhances the earthy tones of the wood. The vertical framing emphasizes the verticality and dramatic form of the sculpture.
