Holger Pooten, Photographer, Berlin

Description

This striking portrait photograph by Holger Pooten in Berlin captures two men immersed in water with dramatic, high-contrast lighting. The central subject, a bearded man, is captured mid-shout with intensely lit red skin and water glistening across his chest and shoulders. Beside him, another man with wet hair shares a similarly expressive, emotional reaction. The background transitions between deep teal tones and vibrant, saturated red hues that create a cinematic atmosphere. The composition emphasizes raw emotion, tactile water droplets, and strong directional lighting.
