Billy Kidd, Photographer, New York

Description

This stark monochrome studio portrait features a man with his hands raised to his face, partially obscuring his features while wearing dramatic, wrinkled leather gloves. He is dressed in a collared shirt, tie, and belted trousers under a dark jacket. The lighting creates high-contrast shadows across his upper body and face, emphasizing the texture of the leather gloves and fabric. Shot against a plain, light background, the portrait adopts a moody and dramatic aesthetic. The image was captured by photographer and director Billy Kidd.
