Christopher Patey, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

This cinematic portrait features a mature man in his 50s captured in profile with a serious expression. The shot utilizes dramatic side lighting that casts a sharp vertical shadow across his face, highlighting his facial structure and skin texture. Warm amber light illuminates the front of his face while a cool blue tone catches his hair and the background. He is dressed in a dark collared shirt. The composition is intimate and tightly framed, focusing purely on the subject's head and shoulders against a softly lit background.
