Brendan Meadows, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

This monochrome portrait captured by photographer and director Brendan Meadows features a man viewed through a striated or fluted glass screen that distorts his features into rhythmic vertical slices. The lighting creates high-contrast shadows across his face and dark shirt, emphasizing the graphic texture of the foreground element. The composition relies on optical refraction to fracture the subject's form while maintaining a serious, focused gaze. The resulting image combines portraiture with experimental visual distortion in a stark black-and-white tonal palette.
