Description

This striking monochrome portrait features a man closely framed as he pulls a striped button-down shirt over his head, captured in a candid and tactile moment. Photographed by Laurence Ellis with styling by Julian Ganio, the image is part of the 'Cut Loose' project for Financial Times HTSI Magazine. The composition emphasizes raw textures, sharp contrast, and intimate framing, highlighting the natural movement of the fabric against the subject's skin. The lighting is directional and soft, creating deep shadows that accentuate the form and expression.
