Abdi Ibrahim, Photographer, New York

Description

A close-up portrait photograph captured in New York by photographer Abdi Ibrahim features a man with dark curly hair and sunglasses leaning down to light a cigarette. Another person's hand enters the frame holding a bright red lighter up to the cigarette tip. The main subject wears a dark jacket with a visible logo patch, a white shirt, and a dark tie. He has rings on his fingers and a silver bracelet on his wrist. The background consists of glossy turquoise or sea-green square wall tiles with dark grout lines, casting a noticeable shadow behind the subject. The lighting is direct and creates sharp highlights and defined shadows.
