Devin Yalkin, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking black and white close-up portrait by photographer Devin Yalkin captures a man holding a small glass sphere directly in front of one eye, magnifying and distorting his gaze. His other eye looks directly toward the camera with a serious expression. The hand holding the glass element is prominent in the foreground, showing sharp textural details on the skin and fingers. The high-contrast monochromatic grading emphasizes the dramatic lighting and the surreal optical effect created by the lens.
