Matthew Rolston, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking portrait features an older man wearing dark-rimmed glasses, captured in a dramatic and intense composition. His face and hand are visibly smeared with bright red liquid resembling blood, creating a stark contrast against his white shirt. He has a wide expression, baring his teeth, with one hand raised prominently in the foreground near his face. The lighting is harsh and direct, casting deep shadows against a dark, solid background. The composition highlights the textured details of the skin, glasses, and the glossy surface of the red substance.
