Description

This monochrome portrait features an elderly man seated in a dark studio setting, holding a large bouquet of dark roses across his lap. A distinct, bright circular light fixture is positioned directly above him, casting sharp highlights and creating a dramatic chiaroscuro lighting effect. The background consists of dark, shadowy studio walls that contrast with the intense illumination of the overhead light source. The subject wears dark clothing and sneakers, looking directly toward the camera with a calm expression. Photographed in New York by Devin Yalkin.
