Manipula, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking and surreal photographic composition by Manipula focuses tightly on the lower face and chest of a man wearing a light blue dress shirt. The man features heavy double chins and visible stubble. Tucked into the collar is a vibrant purple patterned necktie that cleverly folds and contorts to resemble a grotesque, wide-grinning monster face complete with visible teeth and expressive, crazed eyes. The lighting is direct and highlights the detailed textures of the fabric, skin, and stylized features. The unusual juxtaposition creates a humorous yet unsettling visual narrative.
