Miles Davis, 1989

The way the light falls across his face in this 1989 shot really captures that quiet intensity he had, the black-and-white grain feels warm instead of harsh. It’s been up in my hallway for two weeks and I still stop to look at it every time I walk by.

The contrast in this print is stunning—Miles' profile just leaps off the matte black-and-white paper. It's from the Lynn Goldsmith collection, so you know the shot has that raw, documentary energy. Hung it in my studio and it's already the piece everyone asks about.
