Photo Taken by Richard Avedon, https://www.avedonfoundation.org/the-work/

This photo really drew my eye. The dramatic contrast between the model and the white backdrop create a sharp, yet pleasing black and white portrait. I also enjoy how the model has grey hair with a patch of black. I feel that adds to the contrast within the portrait. The model may just be doing simple poses for camera, but how he interacts with the camera and the backdrop is perfect.
