Paul Mobley, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

A mature man with grey hair wearing a dark shirt rests his head on a flat dark surface, looking directly toward the camera with a contemplative expression. Arranged in front of him on the dark tabletop are a whole cooked red lobster, white eggs, red apples, a mushroom, and a banana. The moody composition features dramatic directional lighting casting soft highlights across the subject and props against a textured dark grey gradient background. The portrait is captured with a horizontal orientation, emphasizing a still-life arrangement alongside the human subject.
