Description

Samuel L. Jackson poses for a portrait, seated on a plush, carpeted staircase inside a building. He is positioned centrally, his hands clasped and resting near his chin, his gaze directed at the viewer. Jackson is wearing a tan-colored suit with a black shirt underneath and beige sweatpants. His bare feet rest on the carpeted steps in front of him. A pair of tan loafers sit on the step in front of him. The staircase is covered with a patterned carpet in red and black. The wall behind the staircase is neutral tone. The lighting is diffused, giving the image a soft, editorial feel.
