Robert Ascroft, Photographer, New York

Description

This editorial portrait features actor Harvey Guillen photographed by Robert Ascroft in New York. He is posed in profile, looking toward the camera while pulling up the high translucent collar of a sheer, textured jacket to cover the lower half of his face. The lighting is low-key and dramatic, casting soft highlights across his face and the shimmering fabric of the outerwear. The background is dark and indistinct, focusing attention entirely on the subject. Large bold typography overlaying the image reads IRK and HARVEY GUILLEN BY ROBERT ASCROFT.
