Clayton Cotterell, Photographer, Portland

Description

This striking monochrome portrait features a black man wearing a white tank top, photographed by Clayton Cotterell. Two horizontal metal bars cut across the composition, partially obscuring the subject's face and cutting directly across his eyes. The high-contrast black and white grading emphasizes deep shadows and sharp metallic highlights. The man has a short haircut and a trimmed beard, gazing forward with a serious expression in a tightly cropped studio setting.
