Bracco Italiano Portrait in Neon Light

A Bracco Italiano stands centered against a plain plaster wall, its short white and liver-colored coat rendered in deep Ilford FP4 Plus grain. The dog's long, folded ears frame a muzzle with distinct breed lines, while soft neon reflections catch the wet nose and the glossy sheen of the fur. Foreground bokeh blurs a dark corner object, adding depth to the view. The lighting casts quiet shadows along the textured wall, defining the animal's stillness. Late summer conditions are evident in the clean, dry coat and the absence of winter clothing or frost. The image shows a moment of intense focus, with the dog's dark eyes fixed forward. A thin rim of light traces the curve of the shoulder, separating the subject from the darkened background.
