Ben Weller, Photographer, London

Description

This striking monochrome portrait by London-based photographer Ben Weller captures the back of a young boy's head, highlighting a precise cross shaved into his short hair. The composition focuses intimately on the subject from behind, emphasizing the texture of the closely cropped hair and the graphic lines of the scalp design. Soft studio lighting creates gentle shadows along the neck and shoulder, accentuating the clean contours of the portrait. The subject wears a two-tone t-shirt, adding subtle texture to the lower frame. The minimalist background keeps the full visual emphasis on the subject's unique hairstyle and the stark contrast of the black and white aesthetic.
