Mark Clennon, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

This portrait features Mike Tyson seated on a small chair outdoors against a solid coral-colored wall and artificial turf strewn with scattered red petals. The subject has a shaved head and a graying beard, wearing a textured, fuzzy chartreuse yellow crewneck sweater, khaki trousers, and black-and-white sneakers with thick soles. Most distinctively, he wears large, plush dark red boxing gloves resting on his lap. The lighting is soft and even, highlighting the tactile qualities of the sweater and the contrasting colors within the composition. The shot was captured by photographer and director Mark Clennon.
