Mark Clennon, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

This striking black and white photographic portrait features former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson in a complex multiple exposure composition resembling a film contact sheet. The subject's face is fragmented and layered across a grid of intersecting frame lines and sprocket holes from Ilford film stock. Faint facial features, expression lines, and a distinctive facial tattoo are multiplied across the overlapping exposures. The lighting is dramatic and moody, emphasizing the high-contrast monochrome tones and the physical texture of the analog film. Created by photographer and director Mark Clennon, the piece employs an experimental collage aesthetic built entirely from photographic captures.
