Billy Kidd, Photographer, New York

Description

A black and white portrait features a slender, dark-skinned adult male centered under a concrete bridge. He is wearing a Versace sweatshirt and a scarf bearing the letter V and the inscription "EST. 1978". The man is also wearing a knitted hat, dark trousers with a plaid pattern, and what appear to be gloves. Sunlight illuminates the lower portion of the frame, casting the foreground in a brighter tone and causing long shadows. The backdrop includes urban elements like sidewalks, buildings, and streets, with a few blurred cars. The photograph’s high contrast contributes to its dramatic quality, emphasizing textures and details in the clothing and surroundings.
