Lu Heng on a coastal rock path

Lu Heng stands on a rugged coastal path of large boulders, with blue-green sea and a lightly clouded sky behind him. Sunglasses, a navy blazer over a white top, beige trousers and pale trainers give the portrait a relaxed formality. His hands hang at his sides, and his upright stance contrasts with the uneven surface beneath his feet.

Grey and brown rocks lead towards the water, with a low, grass-topped outcrop on the right. Faint hills and coastal buildings extend along the distant horizon, softening the boundary between sea and sky.

Light filtering through the clouds picks out the weathered rocks and the small ripples on the sea. A faint watermark adds a discreet photographer’s credit. The composition balances the figure against the wide coastal setting, drawing its calm, breezy atmosphere from the contrast between sharp stone, smooth water and soft sky.
