Erik Tanner, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking monochrome portrait features a man standing against a dark backdrop framed by sculptural, curled sheets of paper. He wears thick-rimmed glasses, a white t-shirt, a letterman-style varsity jacket with a prominent letter on the chest, high-waisted pleated trousers, and dark lace-up shoes. His pose is relaxed yet styled, with hands near his waist. The lighting creates sharp contrast and deep shadows, emphasizing the dramatic texture of the curled paper elements above and below him. The black-and-white tonal scale highlights the rich textures of the clothing and paper.
