Justin Stephens, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

This portrait features a man with dark hair styled upwards, a mustache, and a goatee, captured in a medium close-up shot. He is wearing an open, light-coloured patterned short-sleeve shirt with floral motifs over a plain undershirt, complemented by a thin gold chain necklace. A prominent chest tattoo is partially visible beneath his collar. The background consists of a weathered industrial chain-link fence with rusted textures and a pale, textured concrete wall casting diagonal shadows. The lighting is bright and directional, creating high contrast and highlighting facial features with a cool, desaturated colour grade. The composition places the subject slightly off-center, leaning against the structural elements, resulting in a gritty and urban aesthetic.
