Shawn Hubbard, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking monochrome portrait by New York photographer Shawn Hubbard captures a close-up view of a man with a full beard and his eyes closed. Water droplets and splashes cling to his forehead, nose, and beard, catching the light against a dark, moody background. The high-contrast black and white grading emphasizes the glistening texture of the water and the detailed grain of the film aesthetic. The tight framing focuses intensely on the subject's expression of calm endurance amidst the cascading moisture.
