Sandro, Photographer, Chicago

Description

This striking black and white profile portrait features a bald man with a remarkably long, full beard. Captured by photographer Sandro in Chicago, the image employs dramatic low-key lighting that carves out the contours of his face and highlights the texture of his facial hair against a dark background. The subject is captured in a thoughtful three-quarter profile pose with a neutral expression. The high-contrast chiaroscuro lighting creates deep shadows and sharp highlights, emphasizing the sculptural quality of the features.
