Erik Tanner, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking monochrome portrait features actor Oscar Isaac leaning forward over a wooden table inside a dimly lit domestic kitchen. He wears a dark long-sleeved garment and holds a lit cigarette between his fingers, casting a bright ember glow on his hand. The stark directional lighting creates strong shadows against the back wall, accentuating his facial expression and beard. Shelves with bottles and a metal shelving unit are visible in the background. The composition is rendered in high-contrast black and white photography by photographer Erik Tanner.
