Silhouette of Skier

A minimalist winter sports portrait showing a silhouetted skier in profile against a gradient sky. The subject wears a reflective helmet and a mirrored visor catching faint reflections of mountains. The skis extend vertically from the backpack, creating a balanced diagonal composition. The backlighting from the sun produces a thin halo around the helmet and edges of the figure, leaving the rest in near-total shadow. The color palette is monochromatic dark charcoal blacks and cool blue-grays emphasizing mood and form. The overall aesthetic is stark, cinematic, and introspective, evoking the quiet strength of alpine environments. Captured with high contrast and low exposure, using a telephoto lens and shallow depth of field for compression and clean silhouette separation.
