Chris Buck, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking monochromatic portrait, captured by photographer Chris Buck, features an elderly man with curly hair, a full beard, and round glasses. He wears a button-up white shirt marked with dark smudges and soot. Clutched in his mouth is a charred, blackened object resembling a burnt cigar or plant root, from which tendrils of smoke curl upward and around his head against a neutral grey background. The lighting is soft yet directional, highlighting the textures of the fabric, facial hair, and the drifting smoke. The composition presents a serious, contemplative mood.
