About this work

This is a black-and-white photo of a man with a mustache and curly hair. He’s wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a dark coat, holding a walking stick. The background is dark, with a faint glimpse of a building and trees. The photo looks like it was taken a long time ago, with a grainy, old-fashioned feel. The lighting focuses on the man’s face, leaving the rest in shadow. If you like this style, check out chiaroscuro.
