Damon Baker, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking monochrome portrait by photographer Damon Baker features a close-up shot of a person wearing dark sunglasses and a black turtleneck sweater. The subject is holding a lit cigarette, with wisps of smoke curling around their face and hand. The high-contrast black and white grading enhances the moody and dramatic atmosphere of the composition. Tousled dark hair falls across the forehead, framing the subject's face. The minimalist background keeps the complete focus on the expressive textures and moody lighting of the portrait.
