Rankin, Photographer, New York

Description

This monochrome portrait features musician David Bowie leaning forward toward the camera with a direct, intense expression. He wears a dark, ribbed knit long-sleeve sweater and trousers. His styled hair sweeps upward from his forehead, and his light eyes engage the viewer directly. The high-contrast black and white lighting emphasizes facial contours against a stark, plain white seamless backdrop. The composition is shot from a slightly high-angle perspective by photographer Rankin.
