Sam Nixon, Photographer, New York

Description

A group of people, mostly adults, stand in what appears to be a staged or artistic setting against a dark background. Several are wearing pale yellow, short-sleeved shirts and vertically striped pants in red and white. Some hold large, white, mask-like props with simple facial features. The lighting is soft, creating a moody atmosphere. The camera captures a medium shot, bringing the subjects into focus. There is one elderly man in the foreground, seated and looking towards the camera. The overall style leans towards editorial or fine art photography, with a hint of the theatrical.
