Nathalie Gordon, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

This tight close-up portrait features the face of a middle-aged Black man staring directly into the camera. He is wearing bold, thick black-framed glasses that emphasize his intense gaze. His skin exhibits detailed texture, and he has short, trimmed graying facial hair along his jawline and upper lip. The lighting is dramatic and low-key, casting soft highlights across his nose and cheekbones while fading the rest of his features into deep shadow against a solid black background.
