Erik Tanner, Photographer, New York

Description

This black and white portrait by photographer Erik Tanner captures a man standing inside the corner of a room. He wears a dark coat over a top and trousers. A strong light source positioned in front of him casts an exaggerated, dramatic shadow of his figure and raised hands across the walls and ceiling behind him. The composition is stark and high-contrast, emphasizing the graphic interplay between the subject and his environment. The monochromatic finish enhances the theatrical lighting and stark tonal contrasts throughout the frame.
