Description

This monochrome photographic portrait features an older Black man wearing a wide-brimmed cowboy hat, a long-sleeve graphic shirt, and fingerless gloves. He is seated with his hands clasped together, wearing a metallic watch and rings. The background consists of an American flag with visible stars and stripes, rendered in high-contrast black and white tones. The lighting is directional, creating strong highlights and deep shadows that accentuate the texture of his attire and expression. The image was captured in Chicago by photographer Sandro.
