Clayton Cotterell, Photographer, Portland

Description

This monochrome photographic portrait features musician Kirk Hammett captured in a close-up frame with his head tilted back in laughter. He has long, curly hair and light facial hair around his chin. He is wearing a patterned collared shirt under a dark jacket or blazer, with a visible chain necklace around his neck. The lighting is direct and high-contrast, characteristic of black-and-white editorial portraiture. The background is dark and indistinct, focusing entirely on the expressive subject. The image was photographed by Clayton Cotterell.
