Carter Smith, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

A low-angle, black and white photograph features three young adult males looking down directly into the camera. The viewpoint is from below, emphasizing their faces and upper bodies. One man wears a striped scarf, while another is wearing a sweater, and the third wears a t-shirt. Behind the figures, silhouetted tree branches are visible against a bright, nearly blown-out sky. The image is high contrast, lending it a stark, graphic quality. The shallow depth of field keeps the focus primarily on the subjects while slightly blurring the background elements.
