Yves Paternoster
A black and white portrait of a young man with curly hair holding a lit candle, his face lit only by the flame against a dark background.

Portrait by candlelight

This shot of my son was taken with the camera on a tripod. I like the peaceful atmosphere very much, with Christophe focusing on the candle. I remember asking him to stop breathing and not to move while I took the shot. I still love this photograph.
