Mark Seliger, Photographer, New York

Description

This black and white photographic portrait features musician Bruce Springsteen leaning against a dark brick wall. He holds an electric guitar horizontally across his body with a decorated strap resting over his shoulder. He wears a dark patterned long-sleeve shirt, jeans, and leather boots, accessorized with bracelets and rings. The lighting emphasizes the texture of the weathered brick wall and the rustic wood floorboards beneath him. Shot in New York by photographer Mark Seliger, the composition employs a vertical framing with high-contrast monochrome grading.
