Alessandro Simonetti, Photographer, New York

Description

The photograph features a close-up shot of an adult Black male, seen from the side. He is wearing a bright red durag that covers his head and drapes down over his shoulders. The durag has a sheen that catches the light, creating highlights and shadows in its folds. He is wearing a dark-colored shirt. The background is a dark shade, contributing to a low-key lighting mood. The camera is positioned at eye level, and the shallow depth of field keeps the focus on the texture and color of the durag. The composition of the image emphasizes the visual texture and the contrast between the red durag and the dark clothing and background.
