Alessandra Sanguinetti, Photographer, New York

About

Captured in black and white by photographer Alessandra Sanguinetti, this striking portrait presents a middle-aged man seated squarely on a patterned upholstered armchair. He gazes directly into the camera with a serious expression, holding a carved wooden fish sculpture and gnarled tree roots across his lap. He wears a dark long-sleeved sweatshirt, trousers, and light-colored socks against a rustic stone fireplace backdrop. The monochromatic tonal range emphasizes the rich textures of the weathered wood, patterned fabric, and natural stone wall.
