Benjamin Madgwick, Photographer, New York

About

This portrait photograph by Benjamin Madgwick features a Black man positioned behind a clear surface that has been vividly marked with thick, expressive strokes of blue paint. The paint streaks obscure parts of his face and torso, creating a dynamic layering effect between the subject and the foreground medium. Soft, even lighting illuminates the scene, highlighting the glossy texture of the wet paint against the neutral background. The composition is captured in a horizontal framing, focusing closely on the subject's calm and direct gaze through the colourful abstract marks.
