Description

A seated black man in his 30s wearing a patterned short-sleeve shirt and matching shorts poses for a portrait in an art-filled room. He is perched atop a colourful, hand-painted wooden box covered in handwritten text, with his hands clasped together in his lap. Behind him, various musical instruments including drums and a xylophone rest against heavily decorated walls and surfaces covered in artwork and text. The lighting is soft and ambient, highlighting the textures of the fabric, painted wood, and surrounding instruments. Captured by photographer Adïam Yemane in London.
