Alex Harper, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

This portrait photograph by Alex Harper captures a young man with a prominent afro hairstyle and shirtless physique standing on a set of stairs. He wears patterned, tapestry-like trousers and a small dark crossbody bag with a chain strap slung across his shoulder. The composition is uniquely framed from a low angle, with dark, silhouetted figures looming in the foreground on either side, creating a voyeuristic and layered depth. The background consists of tiled walls and metal handrails, illuminated by soft ambient lighting that casts a warm, slightly muted tone across the scene. The image exhibits a cinematic and editorial quality with distinct grain and organic colour grading.
