Vice Akira Kurosawa X Suntory Boss Coffee 2023

Description

This monochrome black-and-white portrait by photographer Seiya Taguchi captures an older man reaching up toward garments wrapped in protective plastic sheeting. The scene is shot from a low side angle, emphasizing the subject's profile and concentrated expression as he handles the hanging items. Visible textures include the wrinkled polyethylene covers, textured woven fabric overhead, and the soft grain characteristic of analogue photography. The lighting is directional and moody, casting gentle highlights across the subject's face and hands while dropping the background into deep shadow. Created for the Akira Kurosawa X Suntory Boss Coffee project with Vice.
