Ben Weller, Photographer, London

Description

This black and white portrait captured in London by photographer Ben Weller features a man resting his head on his arm atop a rustic wooden table. A rolled document lies on the surface in front of him, catching the low-key ambient lighting that sculpts the scene in moody chiaroscuro. The composition is horizontal and intimately framed, focusing on the textured surfaces of the weathered wood and fabric of his jacket. The monochrome grading enhances the dramatic shadows and thoughtful, direct gaze of the subject.
