Aria Shahrokhshahi, Photographer, London

Description

This monochrome photographic portrait features a man with a dark beard and mustache, holding a cigarette between his lips. The image is heavily distressed with prominent surface scratches, dust marks, and dense film grain overlaying the subject. The lighting is soft and diffused, creating a moody, raw aesthetic with high contrast against a pale background. Captured by photographer Aria Shahrokhshahi in London, the composition emphasizes texture and analog degradation over pristine clarity. The subject wears a plain t-shirt with indistinct lettering across the chest.
