Close-up monochrome portrait of a man with wet hair and dramatic high-contrast lighting casting deep shadows across his face.

Tom Munro, Photographer, London

About

This monochrome close-up portrait, captured by photographer and director Tom Munro, focuses tightly on the face of a man with wet hair framing his forehead. Dramatic high-contrast low-key lighting carves out sharp highlights across his cheekbones and nose while plunging the rest of the composition into deep shadow. His dark, intense gaze is directed toward the camera with a serious expression. Subtitle text is visible along the bottom edge of the frame. The high-contrast black-and-white grading emphasizes texture and form across the skin and damp strands of hair.
