Ewen Spencer, Photographer, London

Description

This vertical portrait photograph by Ewen Spencer features a man standing on an outdoor brick staircase at night. The subject is centered in the frame, wearing a black leather jacket, a green and white striped sweater, green cargo pants, and sneakers. His hands are tucked into his pockets, and he is captured with a neutral expression under direct, directional nighttime lighting that casts sharp shadows against the textured red brick wall. The metal handrails of the stairway angle diagonally across the background, creating strong structural lines.
