Billy Kidd, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking monochrome portrait features a Black man with a voluminous afro hairstyle and closed eyes, captured in a moment of quiet introspection. He wears a heavy dark leather jacket with a textured shearling or fleece collar, pulling the lapels up toward his chin with both hands. Prominent silver accessories adorn his hands and wrists, including stacked statement rings and a sculptural bracelet. His layered attire includes a collared button-down shirt visible beneath the outerwear. The high-contrast black-and-white grading emphasizes the rich textures of the leather and hair against a plain, light background.
