Ben Toms, Photographer, London

Description

This striking close-up portrait by photographer Ben Toms in London focuses on the side of a person's head with dark hair. A vividly patterned red, black, and yellow snake, resembling a milk snake or coral snake, winds downward through the hair and threads precisely around the subject's ear. The lighting is soft and warm, highlighting skin texture and the glossy scales of the reptile against the dark hair. The composition is tightly cropped to emphasize the surreal juxtaposition of wildlife and human anatomy.
