Description

This diptych portrait features musician Snoop Dogg wearing white over-ear headphones and a green ribbon with a gold medal around his neck. In the left panel, a hand holds a lit silver lighter to a blunt while smoke curls upward as he exhales. In the right panel, he has his eyes closed in a relaxed expression with smoke drifting from his mouth against a textured greenish fabric backdrop. The direct flash lighting creates sharp highlights and deep shadows, characteristic of candid music photography by Bryan Sheffield.
