Chad Griffith, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

This striking black and white portrait features a man in his 30s with short dark hair, seated and resting his head pensively against his hand. A second set of hands gently touches the top of his head from above, adding a layered, conceptual element to the composition. The lighting is moody and directional, casting soft shadows across his face and accentuating the textures of his dark sweater and grey t-shirt. The background is simple and neutral, keeping the focus entirely on the subject's serious expression and the intimate gesture. The image was captured by photographer and art director Chad Griffith in Los Angeles.
