Andrew Jacobs, New York

Description

This black-and-white portrait features a person with short, slicked-back dark hair wearing a dark collared shirt with visible buttons. The composition is a tight bust-up shot with dramatic, low-key lighting that creates deep shadows across one side of the face. The subject gazes directly forward with a serious, neutral expression. The background consists of a plain, light-toned surface with soft gradation. The monochromatic grading enhances the high-contrast textures of the fabric and skin.
