Portrait of an older man framed behind vertical blue strings with monochrome blue lighting by Gareth Bromell.

Gareth Bromell, Hair Stylist, Los Angeles

About

A close-up portrait of an older man is captured behind a dense curtain of vertical blue threads or strings, creating a textured linear screen across the composition. The entire scene is bathed in a monochromatic blue hue, casting strong highlights and deep shadows across his face and dark jacket. His expression is neutral and direct, looking toward the camera through the gaps in the strands. The lighting creates striking linear patterns across his skin and hair. The image is credited to hair stylist and groomer Gareth Bromell.
