Christopher Patey, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

A monochrome studio portrait captured by photographer Christopher Patey in Los Angeles. An older man is seated at a table with both hands pressed against his cheeks, looking directly toward the camera with a contemplative expression. He wears a dark suit jacket over a dark shirt, rendered in high-contrast black and white. The lighting creates subtle highlights on his face and hands while dropping the background into deep shadow.
