Close-up monochrome portrait of an older man with a full grey beard and mustache looking off to the side.

Erik Tanner, New York

About

A striking monochrome close-up portrait captures the profile of an older man with a full grey beard, mustache, and short-cropped hair. His gaze is directed thoughtfully away from the camera, adding a candid quality to the composition. The lighting creates deep shadows and stark highlights across the facial features, emphasizing texture in the hair and skin. He is dressed in a collared shirt under a dark jacket, visible along the lower edge of the frame. The intimate framing focuses closely on the subject against a neutral, dark background.
