Nick Riley Bentham, Photographer, New York

Description

This vertical editorial photograph captured by photographer Nick Riley Bentham in New York presents an artist's studio scene featuring two subjects. A shirtless young man with tattoos on his arm and chest is seated on a wooden stool, wearing a long plaid kilt, dark shoes, and striped socks, while holding a thin blue paintbrush up near his face. Standing directly behind him with her eyes closed, a woman rests her hands gently on his head, wearing a long-sleeved black jumpsuit covered in a vibrant pink and white floral pattern. The composition is lit with soft directional light against a dark, moody background interior with wooden structural elements and an easel visible on the left.
