Coty Tarr, Photographer, New York

Description

This dramatic low-key portrait by photographer Coty Tarr features an American football player celebrating in a studio setting. The subject is wearing a red athletic jersey featuring the number 23, paired with gold pants and a protective helmet with a face mask. White sports tape wraps his wrists and hands as he clenches his fists in a powerful gesture. The lighting is intensely directional, casting deep shadows across the physique and highlighting the textured fabric of the uniform against a dark, minimal background.
