This black-and-white portrait shows a man in a round frame. He’s wearing a dark coat over a light shirt, with a high collar and a small bow tie. His hair is swept back, and he has a slight smile. The photo looks like it was taken a long time ago, with soft lighting that blurs some edges. The background is plain, keeping all focus on him. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create depth in portraits.
