Jake Chessum, Photographer, New York

Description

This black and white portrait features a close-up, high-angle view of a mature man with a full beard and dark hair. He wears thick-rimmed glasses and is captured mid-motion with his hand raised near his brow, adjusting his eyewear. The lighting is direct, casting soft shadows across his face and accentuating the texture of his facial hair and knit garment. The composition is tight and intimate, focusing squarely on the subject's expression and features. Photographed by Jake Chessum in New York.
