About

This striking monochrome portrait features a man in a dark ribbed sweater resting his head on his hand while holding a lit cigarette, with wisps of smoke rising into the frame. The subject looks directly toward the camera with a relaxed yet contemplative expression. The image is captured in a minimalist studio setting with a neutral backdrop, utilizing soft directional lighting that enhances the rich textures of the knit fabric and the fine details of the skin.
