Huy Doan, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

This stark black and white portrait captures a man wearing a graphic t-shirt and a dark jacket against a completely black background. He has a beanie pulled over his head, with one hand adjusting the edge of the cap while looking off to the side with a pensive expression. The high-contrast lighting creates dramatic highlights on his face and clothing, accentuating the textures of the leather-like jacket and printed t-shirt. Fine film grain and deep shadows define the moody, intimate aesthetic of the composition. The photograph was captured in Los Angeles by photographer Huy Doan.
