Canduarte, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking editorial portrait by photographer Canduarte features a close-up composition focusing on a black quilted leather handbag held against a bare torso. The handbag showcases metallic studs, a rigid top handle, and a delicate chain strap held delicately in the subject's hands. The high-contrast, desaturated monochrome grading emphasizes the rich textures of the leather and skin. Hard directional lighting casts sharp shadows, enhancing the tactile quality of the surfaces.
