Description

Alan Cumming is captured in a striking editorial portrait for InStyle U.S. titled The Art of Playing. The subject wears a voluminous bright red coat and black trousers while holding a wooden chessboard. Chess pieces are frozen mid-air around him as they cascade down against a neutral studio background, casting a dramatic shadow on the wall. The composition is photographed with a playful energy, featuring sharp contrast and vibrant apparel.
