Sandro, Photographer, Chicago

Description

A close-up, monochrome portrait captures a mature adult man in a moment of apparent reflection or contemplation. The subject rests his forehead against his hand, with his fingers visible, and his other hand is also visible at his side. The man's face shows wrinkled skin and a salt and pepper beard, which adds to his aged appearance. The background is a dark, deep black, which is typical of studio lighting. The photograph has been converted to black and white to emphasize the lines and textures of the man's face and hands.
