Steve Vaccariello, Photographer, New York

Description

A portrait of actor Alan Cumming laughing heartily while seated against a rich, dark red tufted leather background. He is wearing a dark short-sleeved button-up shirt decorated with colourful floral patterns. His hands are clasped together loosely in his lap, and his expression is candid and joyous. The lighting is low-key and dramatic, casting soft shadows across the scene and emphasizing the rich textures of the leather and fabric. The image was captured by photographer Steve Vaccariello.
