Jay Kolsch, Photographer, New York

Description

This monochrome portrait photograph by Jay Kolsch features a man centred in the frame, wearing a beanie, round sunglasses, and a puffer jacket. The image is rendered in high-contrast black and white with a pronounced double-exposure effect that creates ghosted, ethereal vertical streaks across the composition. The subject wears distinctive round sunglasses with side shields and a beanie bearing visible branding. The lighting is bright and blown-out at the edges, fading into a soft, glowing vignette that emphasizes the central figure. The textured appearance of the apparel and the layered transparency of the exposure technique impart a raw, artistic quality to the shot.
