Todd Antony, Photographer, Sydney

About

This cinematic portrait by photographer Todd Antony captures two men seated in plush armchairs within a darkly lit, book-lined study. The interior features rich patterned wallpaper, dark wood bookshelves, and a fireplace framed by built-in shelving. A shallow layer of water covers the floor, creating a mirror-like reflection of the room, the furniture, and the figures seated above. The lighting is moody and low-key, with a soft daylight source entering from a window on the right and casting highlights across the wet floor surface. The composition is balanced horizontally, emphasizing the symmetrical layout of the traditional study space.
