Ruven Afanador, Photographer, New York

Description

This black and white photograph captures an empty industrial studio space set up with professional equipment. Large dark fabric curtains hang from metal stands on either side of the foreground, weighting down the frame with deep shadows. In the background, weathered concrete walls and high factory windows with crisscrossing structural beams reveal the historic architectural character of the location. Rolled photography backdrops and a small equipment crate rest against the back wall, suggesting preparation for a shoot. The natural light filtering through the overhead glass panels creates a moody, monochromatic atmosphere across the textured concrete floor.
