Robert Ascroft, Photographer, New York

Description

This vertical portrait features actor Harvey Guillen posing with a retro-styled pompadour hairstyle and a lit cigarette. He wears a black leather jacket heavily adorned with metallic studs across the shoulders and lapels, layered over a white mesh top. The lighting is moody and dramatic with cool tones, casting subtle shadows across his face and creating a stark contrast against the dark background. Faint wisps of smoke curl upward near the cigarette. Bold white typography is visible in the upper and lower corners of the frame. The photograph was captured in New York by photographer Robert Ascroft.
