Caden, Portrait 2

Irving Penn

This portrait really stuck out to me because of how at a quick glance it looks like a normal portrait, but when you actually take the time to look at it you can see that its not normal. There is a sort of disruption on the right that kind of blocks the face, but it still shows the features of the subject. I thought that this was cool and confusing. I have no idea how this affect was done and it would be cool to know.
