Jeff Burton, Photographer, New York

About

This intimate portrait photograph by Jeff Burton captures a shirtless man positioned near the edge of a pool. Warm amber lighting casts deep shadows and highlights water droplets glistening on his skin and dark wet hair. His eyes are closed as he brings fabric featuring visible branding up toward his mouth, grasping it with both hands. The background features dark water with soft green and yellow reflections shimmering on the surface. The composition creates a moody and atmospheric mood through dramatic contrast and tight framing.
