Victoria Stevens, Photographer, New York

About

This black-and-white portrait by photographer Victoria Stevens captures a man seated backward on a black folding chair in a studio setting. The subject wears a long utility coat, trousers, a collared shirt, and high-top canvas sneakers. His right hand rests against the side of his head with his elbow propped on the chair back, and he gazes directly toward the camera with a calm expression. The lighting is soft and even, highlighting the textures of the garments and creating gentle tonal gradations. The composition is vertical with a clean, neutral backdrop.
