Peter Yang, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

An editorial magazine cover photograph by Peter Yang features an elderly man with a full white beard and a red beanie captured mid-action while skateboarding against a plain grey backdrop. He wears a blue plaid button-down shirt over a patterned t-shirt, dark cuffed denim jeans, striped socks, and checkerboard slip-on sneakers. The subject is frozen in an energetic crouching stance on the skateboard, with one hand reaching down toward the board. Bold yellow and black typography is overlaid across the composition, including the magazine title The Atlantic at the top and feature headlines on either side. The lighting is bright and clean, casting soft shadows beneath the subject.
