Todd Cole, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

This black and white portrait captures a young man with a shaved head and extensive arm tattoos seated while resting his chin in his hand. A bright, blown-out light obscures his face, creating a dramatic high-contrast effect. To his left, another person holds hair clippers near his head. In the background, a large stuffed panda toy is partially visible, adding an unexpected element to the indoor setting. The grainy, high-contrast aesthetic emphasizes the raw, intimate nature of the scene captured in Los Angeles by photographer and director Todd Cole.
