Paul Kooiker, London

Description

This striking monochrome editorial portrait by photographer Paul Kooiker in London features a figure standing squarely against a studio background. The subject is dressed in a dark turtleneck and a long, buttoned black coat, paired with dark trousers and platform shoes. A very large, veined anthurium leaf is positioned directly in front of the head, completely obscuring the face. Strong directional studio lighting casts a distinct shadow against the backdrop behind the figure. The overall composition emphasizes texture, silhouette, and surrealism in a high-contrast black-and-white aesthetic.
