Ruven Afanador, Photographer, New York

Description

This close-up portrait features a man smiling and winking directly at the camera, framed closely within a dense composition. He is wearing an elaborate, heavily textured jacket completely covered in hundreds of lustrous pearls and intricate beadwork. His hand is raised near the top of the frame, adorned with a large statement ring featuring a pale yellow gemstone. His short-cropped blonde hair, neat facial hair, nose stud, and earring complete his look. The lighting is warm and directional, accentuating the dimensional texture of the pearl embellishments and creating a rich, tactile surface quality. Captured by photographer Ruven Afanador in New York.
