Diego Merino, Photographer, London

Description

This striking black-and-white editorial portrait by photographer Diego Merino features a man standing indoors against a plain wall next to a tall wooden ladder. The subject wears a tailored suit jacket over a collared white shirt, a patterned tie, and a pocket square, paired unconventionally with bare legs, striped socks, and dark lace-up shoes. He wears a makeshift hat folded from a broadsheet newspaper and holds another open financial newspaper across his torso. The composition balances stark lighting with crisp tonal contrast, emphasizing the textures of the wooden flooring, the ladder rungs, and the printed newsprint.
