Maggie Friedman, Photographer, Nashville

Description

This monochrome photographic portrait features five men posed together against a dark, low-key background. Captured using multiple exposure techniques, translucent overlapping silhouettes create a ghostly layering effect across the frame. The subjects wear varied casual apparel, including patterned button-down shirts, a western-style shirt with animal print yokes, and a wide-brim hat. The high-contrast black-and-white grading emphasizes dramatic shadows and contours. The composition is horizontally oriented, focusing on the lineup of individuals with contemplative expressions.
