Michael Moreno, Hair Stylist, New York

Description

This striking monochrome portrait features a man with dark hair styled using a textured, wet-look finish, captured with dramatic low-key lighting and deep shadows. The composition is vertically oriented, focusing tightly on the subject as he poses casually with his hand near his head. He wears a dark buttoned jacket with contrasting light stitching along the lapel. The lighting creates stark highlights on his face and hair while plunging the background into deep obscurity. Hair styling for the shoot is credited to Michael Moreno in New York.
