Alistair Taylor-Young, Photographer, New York

Description

This close-up portrait photograph by Alistair Taylor-Young focuses on the side of a person's head, highlighting a detailed, multi-element jewelled earring. The earring features a sparkling cloud with sun rays and hanging teardrop stones above a rectangular drop decorated with floral and arboreal motifs in various precious stones. The lighting is low-key and directional, casting most of the subject's face and ear into deep shadow while sharply illuminating the intricate textures of the metallic and gemstone details on the jewellery piece.
