Description
For their special feature 'Chronic Pain - It's time for a revolution,' The New York Times Magazine explores the complexities of physical suffering through a somber, editorial lens. The project is defined by a high-contrast monochromatic photographic study that focuses on the anatomy of the human spine. Photographer Marcus Schaefer uses dramatic low-key lighting and chiaroscuro techniques to heighten the texture of the subject matter. The visual execution relies on an analogue film aesthetic to ground the imagery in an evocative, gritty tone.
