Daniel Thomas Smith, New York

Description

This striking portrait by photographer Daniel Thomas Smith in New York features a close-up crop of a woman illuminated entirely by monochromatic red lighting. The harsh, directional light creates deep shadows across the subject's face, highlighting her sharp jawline and straight fringe bangs. Large hoop earrings cast distinct shadows onto her neck and jaw. The overall composition is intense and minimalist, relying on strong colour saturation and dramatic contrast to create a moody atmosphere.
