Thomas Prior, Photographer, Berlin

Description

An elderly man in his 80s is seated indoors, wearing a dark suit jacket, white collared shirt, and a light blue tie. He wears dark-rimmed glasses and gazes forward with a calm, neutral expression, his hands clasped loosely in his lap. Diagonal slats of light and shadow from window blinds fall dramatically across his face, suit, and the background wall. The lighting is directional and high-contrast, creating deep shadows and highlights that accentuate the textures of his clothing and skin. The portrait is captured by photographer Thomas Prior.
