Benjamin Rasmussen, Photographer, Denver

Description

This portrait by photographer Benjamin Rasmussen captures a shirtless Black man standing before a light neutral brick wall. He wears green trousers with a brown belt and a striped beanie, and his chest features prominent tattoos including a bird and the word HELL. With a serious expression, he holds up two handwritten protest signs, one reading The Whole Damn System Is Guilty and the other Civil Rights Movement. The lighting is bright and even, highlighting the textures of his skin and tattoos against the minimal background.
