Ruven Afanador, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking monochromatic portrait captured by photographer Ruven Afanador features a shirtless young man posing front and center. He wears high-waisted, intricately embroidered trousers with dark ornate patterns down the legs. With both hands, he firmly grips a large, curved pair of textured animal horns horizontally across his torso. The moody, textured backdrop complements the dramatic lighting and classic silver-gelatin photographic aesthetic. Every detail highlights the sculptural quality of the composition and the intense, direct gaze of the subject.
