Erik Tanner, Photographer, New York

Description

This monochrome photographic portrait by Erik Tanner captures a man in a suit and tie seated at a dark wooden table in a sparse room. On the table, a crescent of illuminated lightbulbs surrounds a cracked egg, while the subject holds up a shoe in one hand. A wooden chair stands in the background against a wall marked with faint chalk drawings, and a white cloth drapes over its back. Strong directional lighting casts a prominent shadow of the subject against the plain wall, creating a surreal and theatrical atmosphere. The composition is shot vertically in black and white, emphasizing high-contrast tones and textured surfaces.
