A black and white photo of a man in glasses with a sweater vest working at a pottery wheel, surrounded by stacks of mugs and vases. He is holding up one unglazed mug to see its shape, while his hand hovers over another mug that he has just shaped. The studio setting includes various clay plates scattered around him. A large spinning leg stand behind them adds depth to the scene. In contrast to the bright light from above, there’s a shadow casting across part of his face.
