Elisha Johnson, Photographer, San Francisco

Description

This striking low-key portrait captures a person in profile with their head tilted upward, holding a lit cigarette between their fingers. The subject wears a textured dark leather jacket featuring a checkered patch on the chest. Dramatic directional lighting carves out the jawline and hands from a deep black background, creating high-contrast highlights and deep shadows. The intimate framing and moody atmosphere emphasize the subject's pose and attire. Created by photographer and creative director Elisha Johnson in San Francisco.
