Nicolas Kern, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking monochrome portrait features three models posed closely together against an overcast background, photographed by Nicolas Kern. Each individual displays circular painted markings on their faces, adding an avant-garde artistic element to the composition. The subjects wear tailored coats layered over dark turtleneck sweaters, with one model sporting a patterned neck scarf. The lighting is soft and diffused, creating subtle tonal gradations and deep shadows across their features. The portrait emphasizes texture in the wool garments and skin, captured in a vertical framing format with a moody aesthetic.
