Tom Johnson, Photographer, New York

About

This portrait photograph by Tom Johnson features a person standing in a studio setting against a neutral grey backdrop, holding a large, weathered octagonal red and white stop sign directly in front of their face. The subject's face is completely obscured by the sign, while their bare legs and lace-up boots are visible below. To the right of the subject, a block of text in a stylized serif font is overlaid on the image, containing a quote about environmental activism. The lighting is soft and directional, casting gentle shadows on the floor beneath the subject's boots.
