The Wade Brothers, Photographer, London

Description

A low-key monochrome portrait captures a male basketball player seated in a sports wheelchair on a polished wooden indoor court. The athlete is positioned on the right side of the frame, holding a basketball in one hand while resting the other on the wheel. The surrounding gymnasium is plunged into deep shadow, with the directional lighting accentuating the textured flooring lines and the metallic structure of the wheelchair. The composition uses dramatic contrast to isolate the subject within the vast, dark interior space.
