Description

This diptych portrait features a young man posing against textured exterior walls, captured in a dramatic black-and-white and warm-toned split composition. In the left panel, the subject appears in heavy shadow with a warm golden overhead light illuminating his face and dark jacket. In the right panel, he stands against a white architectural railing with an unbuttoned shirt and dark trousers, looking directly at the camera. The photography style employs contrasting lighting and grain characteristics typical of editorial portraiture. The work was created by photographer Sami Drasin.
