John Balsom, Photographer, London

Description

This portrait photograph by John Balsom features an elderly East Asian man leaning against a textured, light-coloured concrete wall. He is wearing a dark blue short-sleeved shirt with white collar and placket details, paired with a blue apron tied at the waist with a patterned sash. A grey cloth is wrapped around his head as a makeshift cap. The composition is framed vertically with natural lighting casting soft shadows, highlighting the weathered textures of his clothing and the surrounding wall.
