French photographer Benoit Courti has a series of strikingly elegant black-and-white portraits of people and animals in everyday settings.
Artfully shot and well-composed, Courti demonstrates a sharp eye for detail and angles in his monochromatic images which possess a dark, mysterious beauty, and range from delicate snowflakes falling around a cat, to a girl sitting on the edge of a building.
Immerse yourself in the surreal intrigue of his photos below.
