Mark Clennon, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

This monochrome portrait captures a young black man in profile with an elaborate, spiked dreadlock hairstyle that fans outward. He is wearing a dark varsity jacket with striped collar trim and a silver chain necklace featuring a house pendant. A small facial tattoo is visible near his right eye, along with neck tattoos and a neatly trimmed beard. The subject is positioned against a mottled stone wall, illuminated by strong directional lighting that casts crisp shadows. Shot in black and white by photographer Mark Clennon.
