Jon Johnson, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

A high-contrast black and white photograph captures a man standing on the airstair of a private jet. He wears a t-shirt, athletic pants, a cap, and sunglasses, with a backpack straps visible over his shoulders. Another figure stands partially visible inside the aircraft doorway. The tarmac surface is visible below, and natural daylight illuminates the scene with strong tonal contrasts. The image is composed in a vertical framing style with a documentary editorial aesthetic.
