The photograph is a close-up side profile shot taken in York, England. The renowned photographer, known for their urban portraiture and 'hits' style, uses a large format camera to capture this moment. The setting is a narrow alleyway off Shambles, with aged brick buildings rising on either side, creating a sense of enclosure and history. The lighting is soft but directional – diffused sunlight filters down from above, highlighting the textures of the brickwork and gently illuminating the subject’s face. The subject is a young man, appearing to be in his early twenties, with slightly tousled dark hair and intense eyes that hold an intriguing mix of vulnerability and defiance. He's wearing a tailored evoknit jacket – a limited-edition piece from their lookbook - paired with worn Puma sneakers, juxtaposing high fashion with urban grit. The camera’s lens is almost touching his face, creating an intimate and slightly uncomfortable closeness, conveying the photographer’s desire for raw honesty. The composition emphasizes lines: the verticality of the buildings, the slant of the alleyway, and the profile line of the subject's face. The image evokes a sense of urban territory – belonging and alienation simultaneously. The focus is razor-sharp on his eyes, drawing the viewer into his perspective. Subtle details – the chipped paint on the brick, the way he grips his hands slightly – contribute to a narrative suggesting a hidden story or an internal struggle. He's not smiling; there’s a quiet intensity in his gaze, as if bracing himself for something. The overall mood is contemplative and melancholic, with a touch of rebellious spirit. The photographer’s intention is to insighting the viewer into a moment of introspection.
