About

This monochrome portrait features musician Willie Nelson seated on a chair indoors, playing an acoustic guitar in profile. He wears dark clothing and headphones while positioned in front of a studio microphone and a lit music stand. Smoke drifts softly around the microphone and stands under dramatic directional lighting. The background displays a wooden shuttered window and heavily textured interior surfaces. The photograph is captured in a high-contrast black and white style by photographer James Minchin.
