Kwaku Alston, Photographer, New York

Description

This black-and-white photographic portrait features comedian and actor Bill Hader captured in profile, looking intently off to the side with a serious expression. He is wearing a tailored grey suit jacket, a crisp white collared dress shirt, and a dark necktie. His short, dark hair is styled neatly, and he has a trimmed beard and mustache. The composition is a medium bust shot with a shallow depth of field, set against a plain, light-toned studio background that emphasizes the subject. The lighting is soft and directional, casting gentle shadows across his face and suit, highlighting the textures of his clothing and skin. The portrait exudes a classic, documentary-style aesthetic.
