Alice Martinelli, Set Designer, New York

Description

A vertical portrait features a Black man in his 20s or 30s wearing a dark suit jacket, dark trousers, white shirt, and white socks with loafers, posed mid-stride or dancing against a solid black seamless background. He holds an acoustic guitar with a sunburst finish by its neck in one hand while gesturing with the other. The lighting is direct and creates sharp highlights on the subject, reminiscent of an analog or Polaroid capture with a white border framing the dark composition. Set design by Alice Martinelli contributes to the clean, stark aesthetic.
