About

An older man stands squarely in the center of an empty cafe with his arms crossed over his chest, wearing a dark jumper and a blue-and-white striped apron over dark trousers. He has a mustache and a direct, serious expression directed toward the camera. The interior features rows of empty marble-topped tables with wooden benches on a checkered tiled floor. The lighting is natural and even, casting soft shadows within the commercial space. The portrait is captured by photographer Steve Ryan.
