John Balsom, Photographer, London

Description

This black and white portrait features a bearded man with wavy hair, seated backwards on a wooden bentwood chair in a studio environment. He wears a dark button-down shirt with rolled-up sleeves, dark trousers, white socks, and dark shoes, with his arms raised and hands gesturing expressively while he looks upward. The background consists of a plain studio backdrop roll and a wooden floor, complemented by a shelf or bookcase visible on the left side. The lighting is soft and directional, creating gentle highlights and shadows across his form. Photographed in London by John Balsom, the image has a candid, expressive quality.
