Tom Johnson, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking photographic portrait by Tom Johnson captures a close-up view of an elderly man holding a large, vibrant orange gerbera daisy directly in front of his mouth and nose. The subject tilts his head upward, with his eyes visible above the flower petals and short facial stubble along his jawline. The composition is framed tightly against a clear blue sky and a distant horizon line, utilizing bright natural daylight to cast warm highlights across the skin. The vivid contrast between the bright orange bloom and the blue background creates a bold, graphic visual impact.
