Mark Seliger, Photographer, New York

Description

This monochrome photographic portrait by photographer Mark Seliger captures a musician leaning over a highly reflective silver electric guitar. The subject's tousled blonde hair falls forward, obscuring their face, which is mirrored softly in the polished body of the instrument. The lighting creates stark highlights along the chrome finish and textured dark surfaces. The composition highlights the raw relationship between musician and instrument against a dark, textured backdrop. Text in the lower right corner reads MAINSTREAM SELLOUT.
