Untitled (Self Portrait)
1964, printed 2018

A black and white portrait of a man holding a vintage camera with a twin lens reflex design, looking directly into the camera lens as if taking a photograph. The man has a beard and is wearing a suit jacket, and the lighting highlights one side of his face, creating a dramatic effect.
