Portraits

About this gallery

This gallery gathers portraits taken outdoors, in natural light, most of them close in with a blurred background.

One subject recurs often: a bearded man in glasses, smiling at a café terrace or in a coffee shop, a cool drink in hand. Elsewhere, another man poses thoughtfully, a cigarette between his fingers, seen from the front or in profile, hair tousled by the wind or caught in bright light. Other portraits lean toward nostalgia: a man absorbed in his newspaper, a portrait souvenir in faded tones, a smiling woman caught near the Louvre, among the crowd. As evening falls, a man in a beret smokes at a terrace, another smiles backlit against a golden city skyline, and a couple embraces, all smiles. Further on, a man in a straw hat leans against a branch, another poses in a cap and sunglasses, against a blurred bokeh background.
