George Platt Lynes Portrait

George Platt Lynes was a commercial photographer who captured excellent and dramatic portraits using unconventional stylizations and methods of portraiture. The elbow on the left is a little close to the edge but is also heavily shadowed and it goes unnoticed. The highlights work well but the bright spot behind the model draws the eye to his face. The arm covers most of the model and it creates movement. The hand and the fabric in the foreground balance the image due to the brightness of the top.
