Portrait of a man in his 30s wearing a patterned zip sweater photographed by John Balsom

John Balsom, Photographer, London

About

This portrait photograph by John Balsom captures a man in his 30s with short dark hair and facial stubble, gazing thoughtfully off-camera. He is wearing a light-coloured zip-up knit sweater featuring a subtle geometric or block pattern in muted tones. The shot is framed vertically with a shallow depth of field, keeping the subject sharply in focus while the background dissolves into a soft, warm blur. Natural daylight illuminates the side of his face, highlighting fine textures on his skin and the knit fabric of his apparel. The overall composition is clean and intimate, emphasizing subject character through naturalistic lighting.
