Description
This stark black and white close-up portrait captures an elderly man with his hands raised to his face, fingers splayed across his forehead and cheeks while his eyes gaze forward between them. High-contrast lighting emphasizes the textured details of his skin, wrinkles, and the grain of his hands, casting deep shadows around his features. A metallic ring is visible on his left ring finger. The stark monochrome palette and tight framing create an intimate and intense visual focus on the subject. The photograph was captured in New York by photographer Thom Gilbert.
