Mario Sorrenti, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking monochrome close-up profile portrait focuses on a model with wet, wavy hair styled neatly against the head. Captured by photographer Mario Sorrenti in New York, the image utilizes high-contrast low-key lighting to accentuate the sharp jawline, high cheekbones, and contemplative expression of the subject. The composition highlights skin textures and the subtle dampness of the hair against a minimal, dark background framed within a vertical border. The stark tonal range emphasizes form and shadow, creating a powerful, intimate study of the human face.
