Mario Sorrenti, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking monochrome portrait features an older man with deep facial lines and expressive eyes, shot in dramatic low-key lighting that casts deep shadows across one side of his face. His hand is raised to partially cover his mouth in a contemplative gesture, while he wears a collared garment visible at the shoulders. The high-contrast black-and-white tonal treatment emphasises the fine textures of his skin and hair. Captured by photographer Mario Sorrenti in New York, the composition employs a tight vertical framing to focus intently on the subject's intense expression.
