Mark Seliger, Photographer, New York

Description

A bearded man is seated on the concrete floor inside a glass telephone booth on a New York sidewalk, leaning against the metal frame. He wears a heavy, textured grey coat over dark trousers, black socks, and dark shoes. A public payphone is mounted on the wall above him inside the booth. The urban street background shows out-of-focus brick buildings, a yellow taxicab, and passing traffic. The lighting is natural and diffuse, casting soft shadows across the scene with a desaturated editorial color grade. The Esquire logo is visible in the bottom right corner of the frame.
