Alessandro Simonetti, Photographer, New York

About

This close-up photograph by Alessandro Simonetti in New York focuses on the lower back of an individual. A thick book with a dark blue starry night cover is tucked securely into the back waistband of their light-colored trousers. A reddish-brown woven leather belt threads through the belt loops, holding the garment in place. The person wears a dark top that drapes slightly over the upper edge of the book. The lighting is direct and clear, accentuating the textures of the woven leather, fabric, and paper edges.
