Rayan Ayash, Photographer, Sydney

Description

A black and white close-up portrait features a young adult male with short, buzzed hair and pronounced eyebrows. He is wearing a dark, possibly wool, turtleneck sweater that is zipped up to cover the lower half of his face, with his fingers subtly visible near the zipper. His gaze is direct, and the lighting accentuates the texture of his skin. The background is a smooth, neutral gray, keeping the focus entirely on the subject. The photograph uses shallow depth of field and monochrome tones for a modern, minimalist aesthetic.
