Two people photographed by James Macari in New York under moody red lighting, featuring a woman holding sparklers.

James Macari, Photographer, New York

About

This composite photographic work by New York-based photographer James Macari captures two distinct scenes bathed in intense red lighting. On the right, a person lies reclined on a dark surface under dramatic, deep red illumination, wearing dark clothing. In an inset frame on the left, a blonde woman holds burning sparklers that obscure her face with bright light, wearing a black graphic t-shirt. The overall aesthetic is moody, nocturnal, and highly cinematic, characterized by deep shadows, high-contrast red highlights, and intimate framing.
