A Smoker

About this work

This black-and-white photo shows a person sitting in a chair, hunched over and holding a pipe. They’re wearing loose, old-fashioned clothes and boots, with one leg crossed over the other. The room looks dim and plain, with a simple wooden chair and a dark background. The person’s face is half-lit, making their expression hard to read. The lighting focuses on their hands and the pipe, almost like a spotlight. If you like this style, look up *chiaroscuro*.
