Man in white bathrobe kneeling on wooden floor writing with ink and pen by Mark Seliger

Mark Seliger, Photographer, New York

About

A monochrome editorial portrait captured in New York by photographer Mark Seliger features a man wearing a white bathrobe kneeling on a wooden slat floor. He is bent over a sheet of paper or photograph, carefully writing or touching up the surface with a fine ink pen held in his right hand while holding a small ink bottle with his left. Strong, directional sunlight casts deep shadows and bright highlights across the scene, accentuating the texture of the wooden boards and the fabric of the robe. The high-contrast black-and-white aesthetic emphasizes the candid, focused nature of the moment.
