Anthony Tahlier, Photographer, Chicago

Description

This striking portrait captures a Black man in his 30s with a serious expression, posing in a dark environment illuminated by dramatic blue and red lighting. He wears a dark sweater layered over a white turtleneck, accessorized with a black harness featuring metallic hardware and rings on his fingers. The high-contrast color grading casts cyan highlights across one side of his face and warm red tones on the other, creating a moody, cinematic atmosphere. The background is deeply shadowed and indistinct, putting the focus entirely on the subject's intense gaze and styled apparel. The shot was captured in Chicago by photographer and director Anthony Tahlier.
