Peter Yang, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

This striking black and white close-up portrait of James Hetfield serves as a Rolling Stone magazine cover, captured by photographer Peter Yang. The composition is tightly cropped on his face, featuring an intense, smiling expression with detailed facial textures and wrinkles visible. A bold, diagonal bright yellow geometric shape cuts across the lower half of his face, covering his mouth and teeth with a solid block of color. White typography including the iconic Rolling Stone masthead and feature headlines frames the top and sides against a pale grey background.
