Ruven Afanador, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking portrait features a shirtless man with extensive body tattoos wearing a dramatic, wide-brimmed black hat with a patterned under-brim. He wears high-waisted black trousers and a heavy, ornate chain necklace with a prominent pendant. His hand is raised gently near his face with a thoughtful expression. The composition is captured in monochrome with rich tonal contrasts against a simple grey studio backdrop. The lighting highlights the subject's form and intricate tattoos.
