About this work

This black-and-white photo shows a young person with light hair and a serious expression. They’re wearing a high-collar shirt with ruffled cuffs, and their hands rest loosely on their chest. The background is plain and dark, focusing all attention on their face. The photo looks old, with soft edges and faded tones. The lighting is simple, highlighting the face but leaving little detail in the background. Next, check out *chiaroscuro* to see how light and shadow create drama in portraits.
