Michael Kunde, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking portrait features a hockey player wearing a protective helmet, visor, and sports jersey, holding a hockey stick horizontally across the shoulders. The subject stands centrally in a moody, smoke-filled environment illuminated by prominent blue neon triangle light bars in the background. The lighting casts dramatic blue and purple hues across the subject, highlighting the textured fabric of the jersey and the protective hockey gloves gripping the stick. Captured by photographer Michael Kunde in New York, the composition employs strong backlighting and a cool colour grading to create a dramatic, atmospheric aesthetic.
