Rafael Pavarotti, Photographer, New York

About

This striking portrait captured by photographer Rafael Pavarotti features a model with silver-painted skin and headwear, dressed in a long yellow coat, black shirt collar, and matching yellow tights. The subject stands against a solid black background, holding a thin white cord that loops down toward the floor and connects to a large, mounted marlin fish poised upright beside them. The high-contrast lighting accentuates the sharp contours of the coat and the glossy finish of the fish's wooden texture. The composition plays with surrealism and sculptural forms, creating a dramatic narrative moment.
