Alessandro Simonetti, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking portrait photograph by Alessandro Simonetti in New York captures a close-up view of a shirtless Black man with visible perspiration on his skin. His head is tilted slightly upward with his mouth open, revealing teeth, under intense, dramatic lighting that creates stark highlights on his collarbones and chest. He wears two layered necklaces: a thin gold chain closely fitted around his neck and a thicker silver chain draped below it featuring a distinct dark Nike swoosh pendant. The background is completely dark and underexposed, making the illuminated textures of his skin and the metallic accessories the central focus of the composition.
