Description

This striking monochrome portrait features a man wearing a dark ribbed turtleneck sweater, captured in a moody and atmospheric setting. Chess pieces are creatively superimposed or placed in the foreground, casting strong shadows and intersecting with the subject's face. The high-contrast lighting creates dramatic deep darks and sharp highlights across his features and clothing. The composition is intimate and experimental, showcasing textured knitwear against a dark background. Photographed by Tom Johnson in New York.
