Augustus Butera, Photographer, New York

Description

This interior portrait captures a Black man in his 30s seated indoors in a dimly lit environment, wearing glasses and a maroon long-sleeve textured shirt. He is holding a smartphone to his ear with his left hand while examining a prescription document or mail package in his right hand. The lighting is low-key, casting soft shadows across the scene with highlights catching the paper and the side of his face. A CVS logo with a heart symbol appears in the upper left corner of the composition. The background features a simple domestic setting with muted tones and a bed.
