Ben Pier, Photographer, New York

Description

This nighttime street portrait by photographer Ben Pier features a middle-aged security guard posing outdoors in New York. The subject wears a light blue button-down uniform shirt with dark trousers, epaulets, and a prominent badge on the sleeve, paired with dark sunglasses and a dark cowboy hat. Natural nighttime ambient lighting illuminates the scene, casting soft highlights and shadows across his attire and face. The composition captures him in a three-quarter view with his hand on his hip, set against a blurred urban street backdrop with distant lights.
