Katinka Herbert, Photographer, London

Description

A black and white portrait features a man seated at a rustic wooden table, leaning forward to raise a glass towards the camera with an expressive look. He wears a dark leather jacket over a light shirt and tie. In the foreground on the table sit two wax-dripped champagne bottles with lit candles, a plate of food, cutlery, and glassware. The background is filled with wooden paneling and multiple wicker baskets filled with dried plants and foliage hanging overhead. The lighting creates high-contrast shadows across the scene, emphasizing textures of wood, wicker, and melted wax. The photograph was captured in London by photographer Katinka Herbert.
