Mary Ellen Matthews, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

This striking portrait features musician The Weeknd wearing a tailored red suit and a white bandage across his nose, captured by photographer Mary Ellen Matthews. The subject poses dynamically with one hand raised near his face against a dark, moody background. Dramatic low-key lighting creates deep shadows while highlighting the rich crimson tone of the jacket and a gold watch on his wrist. The composition emphasizes theatrical intensity through expressive posing and cinematic lighting. The warm color palette and shallow depth of field draw focus entirely to the central figure.
