Matthew Priestley, Photographer, New York

Description

Monochrome portrait features a shirtless adult male with dark curly hair. He's posed in a bent over position, his head turned towards the ground. A large, irregularly shaped piece of wood appears to be protruding from the side of his neck, adding a surreal element. The background is a smooth, dark gradient, providing contrast to the subject. The lighting is dramatic, emphasizing the textures of the skin and wood. The photograph is tightly framed, directing focus on the man and the wood.
