Monochrome portrait of a standing man covered in glowing markers holding juggling clubs by Erik Tanner.

Erik Tanner, New York

About

This monochrome portrait photograph by Erik Tanner captures a standing male figure covered head to toe in bright, glowing motion-capture markers. The subject is holding juggling clubs in his hands while facing forward in a simple, dimly lit studio environment. The grainy, high-contrast black and white treatment emphasizes the stark patterns of light across his face, torso, and limbs. Wires and cables drape around his body, reinforcing the technical nature of the setup. The composition combines elements of performance and scientific capture with a raw aesthetic.
