A blacksmith by Maciek Przeklasa (2021?):

propaganda: The badassery of the subject goes a long way. He looks so comfortable, like he just asked an old friend for a light. Also, consider this. Too much light or contrast would blur the heat gradient on the horseshoe and/or the details of the subject's face, but both are so clear. The sparks on the tip of the cigarette give you some dynamics, and the background is atmospheric but subtle. Just a really great portrait.

about the artist: he is on ig and fb, and he appears to be hire-able for weddings

Self-portrait by Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz, c. 1912:

submitted description: Witkacy's self-portrait on broken glass negative // black and white photo, only the head of the artist is visable reflected in a broken mirror

propaganda: Some critics say he broke the glass negative on purpose to show his 'shattered self', others that it was an accident. Anyway, I love how unsettling this photography is. Makes me shiver.
