Mitch Hay, Photographer, Sydney

Description

This black and white portrait photograph captured in Sydney by photographer Mitch Hay features a man wearing a dark long-sleeve sweatshirt with text on the chest, sunglasses, and hoop earrings. The diptych composition places a close-up profile view on the left alongside a full-length shot on the right, where the subject stands against a textured wall with painted graffiti and barred windows. He wears light-wash denim jeans and dark canvas sneakers, with his hand near his face in the second frame. The lighting creates high-contrast shadows across the urban setting, emphasizing the monochromatic grain and textures of the scene.
