About

This monochrome portrait features a Black man seated on a low bench inside a room with plain walls. Above him, a distinctive circular window with ornate iron scrollwork lets in bright light, contrasting with the dark interior. He wears a light-coloured button-down shirt and dark trousers, with one hand raised to his face in a thoughtful pose. The image is captured in Dallas by photographer Elizabeth Lavin, utilizing a moody black-and-white aesthetic that emphasizes the play of light and shadow.
