Nick Simonite, Photographer, New York

Description

This dramatic vertical portrait photographed by Nick Simonite captures the silhouette of a football player lifting a helmet high overhead. The athlete stands amidst a hazy cloud of mist or smoke, illuminated from above by a harsh, glaring stadium light source that creates a high-contrast aesthetic. The player wears a dark jersey with visible numbering on the back and is gloved on the hand holding up the sports equipment. The monochromatic tones and heavy backlighting emphasize the stark outline of the figure against the dark, smoky background.
