Mark Clennon, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

This vertical portrait features a person seated backwards in a plush red velvet theater chair, bathed in a dramatic beam of overhead light that cuts through swirling stage smoke. The subject wears a textured garment with circular embellishments and a light-coloured skirt, with one hand raised toward the light source. The surrounding rows of empty red theater seats recede into deep shadow, creating a moody and atmospheric composition. Directional overhead lighting casts high-contrast highlights across the scene, emphasizing the rich textures of the seating and the billowing smoke above. The photograph was captured by Mark Clennon.
