Paul Mobley, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

This is a black and white portrait of an elderly man. He has long, gray hair and a full beard. The man is resting his head in his left hand, elbow on the table. He is wearing a button-down shirt with long sleeves. His wrinkled hands are resting on a worn wooden table. The background is a gradient of dark gray to black. The lighting is subdued, and the image has a shallow depth of field, focusing attention on the man's face and hands. His expression is thoughtful and somewhat weary. The portrait emphasizes textures of skin, hair, and wood.
