Description

This black and white portrait features a man seated in a distinctive high-backed slatted chair. He is wearing a formal tuxedo with a bow tie and has his hands clasped in his lap. The composition is lit with stark, dramatic contrast, casting long vertical slat shadows across the plain wall behind the subject. The atmosphere is quiet and contemplative, captured by photographer Robert Ascroft.
