Monochrome close-up portrait of a face viewed through shattered glass by Daniel Benson

Daniel Benson, London

About

This striking monochrome photographic portrait by Daniel Benson captures a human face heavily distorted and fragmented as seen through a sheet of shattered glass. A web of cracks and a central impact hole fracture the frame, distorting the facial features including the nose, mouth, and eyes beneath. The high-contrast black-and-white treatment emphasizes a gritty, grainy texture across the entire surface. Shadows are deep and stark, accentuating the physical cracks and the tactile nature of the broken barrier. The composition focuses intimately on the facial fragments, creating a surreal and tense visual atmosphere.
