Koury Angelo, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

This striking black-and-white portrait by photographer Koury Angelo features a man positioned behind a circular cutout in a wood-grained wall. His arms are crossed tightly over his chest, with his hands gripping opposite shoulders in a composed, direct pose. Shot in Los Angeles, the high-contrast monochrome grading emphasizes the textured wood framing and the dramatic lighting on the subject. The composition draws the viewer's eye directly to the subject's intense expression framed within the circular aperture.
