Jay Kolsch, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking portrait captured by photographer Jay Kolsch features a shirtless athletic man clapping his hands together, releasing an explosive cloud of white powder that dramatically fills the upper portion of the frame. The subject is captured from the torso up, displaying defined muscle tone and posture against a solid warm yellow background. Fine particles of powder cascade downward over his arms and shoulders, catching the directional lighting that highlights the texture of the cloud and the skin surface. The composition uses a vertical orientation, focusing tightly on the dynamic motion and interaction between the subject and the tumbling dust particles.
