Clegg and Guttmann 1986

"Clegg and Guttmann," a 1986 photograph by David Robbins, portrays two men, seemingly in their late twenties or early thirties, in a formal portrait setting. Both are smiling directly at the viewer, conveying a sense of confidence and approachability. The black and white medium emphasizes the stark contrast between light and shadow, enhancing the sharpness of the features and creating a timeless quality. Robbins’s work often explores the nature of representation and identity, making this piece a compelling reflection on the constructed nature of public image.
