Description

This portrait photograph by Antonia Steyn captures a Black man from the chest up against a textured stone or marble background. He wears a rust-orange sleeveless top featuring a textured, multicolored trim across the chest. His head is tilted back slightly with his eyes closed, and his lower face, mouth, and chin are covered in a dense layer of sparkling multicolored glitter. The lighting highlights the contours of his shoulders and face while creating dramatic shadow contrast, emphasizing the textures of the fabric, glitter, and background.
