Damon Baker, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking monochrome profile portrait by photographer Damon Baker captures a man in sharp contrast lighting. The subject is shown from the side in a tight crop, wearing dark sunglasses that cast deep shadows across his upper face. He holds a lit cigarette between his fingers, raising it toward his lips. His dark, tousled hair is styled with high volume, catching highlights along the top and edges. He wears a textured patterned jacket over his shoulder. The background is a plain, neutral light tone that emphasizes the stark tonal range of the black and white photograph.
