Michael Moreno, Hair Stylist, New York

Description

This striking monochrome photograph features two men engaged in a striking balancing act against a plain backdrop. The lower figure stands with arms outstretched, wearing an open dark jacket adorned with hanging ribbons or tassels while the upper figure balances vertically atop his shoulders. The high-contrast black and white grading enhances the dramatic, sculptural quality of the composition. The lighting emphasizes form and shadow across the men's physiques and apparel. The image was created with hair styling by Michael Moreno in New York.
