Erik Tanner, Photographer, New York

Description

This monochrome photographic portrait by photographer Erik Tanner features a bearded man partially obscured by an intense optical distortion. The composition employs heavy grain, deep shadows, and an atmospheric black and white treatment that blurs the subject into an abstract form. Light catches softly across the forehead and upper torso, while the edges of the frame dissolve into dark, textured gradients. The intentional optical warping creates a surreal, experimental visual register.
