Jason Paige Smith, Photographer, Boston

Description

This striking monochrome portrait features an elderly man with short grey hair and a mustache, seated while holding a hockey stick upright. He is wearing a dark long-sleeve athletic shirt with printed text and athletic hockey gloves on both hands. The lighting is dramatic and low-key, creating strong contrast on his face and hands while dropping the background into deep shadow. The composition is a vertical studio shot focused closely on the subject upper body. The image was captured in Boston by photographer Jason Paige Smith.
