Jake Michaels, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

A man wearing a flat cap and a rolled-sleeve striped shirt is seated inside a dimly lit rustic cabin or vehicle interior. He rests with his arms crossed slightly, looking off to the side with a calm expression. The warm indoor lighting highlights wooden shelving packed with books, jars, and decorative objects, including a circular sign reading Tea 0c and a sign that spells Edna. On the counter to the left, a large yellow squash sits next to a vintage brass sink fixture. Through a window behind the man, a cool, dark blue twilight or exterior scene is visible, creating a strong contrast with the warm interior tones. The photograph was captured by photographer Jake Michaels in Los Angeles.
