Sergei Pavlov, Photographer, New York

About

This striking monochrome close-up portrait focuses tightly on the face of a man with his eyes closed. The high-contrast lighting accentuates the sharp contours of the nose, cheekbones, and lips, highlighting detailed skin textures and subtle shadows. Captured in New York by photographer Sergei Pavlov, the tight framing creates an intimate and contemplative mood. The absence of color draws attention entirely to the sculptural form of the face and the serene expression.
