Jeff Forney, Photographer, New York

Description

This stark black-and-white portrait features a man leaning forward toward the camera while wearing dark sunglasses and a hooded jacket. He has short dark hair and a serious expression, with his hands tucked near his waist. The subject stands framed directly in front of a dark, weathered doorway bearing numbers above the lintel, captured with grainy textures and heavy vignette framing. Shot by photographer Jeff Forney, the monochromatic aesthetic emphasizes high contrast between the brightly lit subject and the deep shadows of the background.
