Description

This portrait features actor Sam Rockwell standing on a wet urban street at night, holding an open black umbrella overhead. He wears an olive green trench coat over a white crewneck t-shirt and brown pinstripe trousers. The background shows a dark street with parked cars and distant out-of-focus city lights reflecting on the wet pavement. The composition uses a moody, atmospheric lighting style with selective illumination on the subject against the dark surroundings. The shot was captured by photographer Michael Schwartz.
