Ruven Afanador, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking monochrome photographic portrait captured by photographer Ruven Afanador features a shirtless male subject striking a theatrical pose in an open industrial workspace. The subject wears a voluminous, dark sweeping cape that cascades dramatically across the floor and tall leather boots, while tilting his head upward toward the natural light pouring in from a large open doorway. The composition balances stark contrasts of deep blacks and bright white highlights against a raw concrete floor and industrial backdrop. The resulting image highlights strong sculptural lines and textures throughout the garment and setting.
