Man wearing a western embroidered shirt playing pool in a dimly lit bar by photographer Carter Smith.

Carter Smith, Photographer, Los Angeles

About

A man stands in profile beside a pool table in a dimly lit interior, looking down intently at the table. He wears a patterned western-style shirt with dark embroidery over light fabric and dark jeans. Above the scene, a stained glass lampshed casts a soft glow over the space. The composition uses high-contrast, moody lighting that leaves much of the background in shadow, highlighting the subject and the green felt of the pool table. This atmospheric photographic portrait was captured by photographer Carter Smith.
