Leigh Keily, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

This stark black and white portrait captures a man wearing a dark turtleneck sweater, gazing off to the side with a serious expression. The lighting is high-contrast and dramatic, casting deep shadows that contour his face and highlight his features. Soft ambient light diffuses from behind him, creating a subtle rim light effect on his hair and shoulder. The composition is intimate, focusing closely on the subject against an indistinct, dark background. Photographed by Leigh Keily.
