Alan Schaller, Photographer, London

Description

This striking monochrome photograph by Alan Schaller features a low-angle shot of a man standing against an expansive, cloudy sky. He wears a dark, heavy double-breasted coat and a distinctive wristwatch on his left arm, which he adjusts with his right hand. The high-contrast black-and-white grading emphasizes the sharp textures of his wool coat and curly hair. A distant bird is visible flying in the upper left corner, adding a sense of movement to the dramatic overhead perspective.
