Rich Stapleton, Photographer, New York

Description

A monochromatic, studio shot presents a large, plaster anatomical model of a nose. The model sits on a metal stand, positioned against a dark backdrop. The lighting is dramatic, casting shadows and highlights that accentuate the form and texture of the plaster. The photograph has a high contrast look, with strong blacks and bright whites. The composition is simple and focused, drawing attention to the sculptural quality of the model. The plaster appears smooth, though it may have some texture visible in the details.
