Charlie Engman, Photographer, Sydney

Description

This vertical editorial portrait captured by photographer Charlie Engman shows a middle-aged Black man wearing glasses, a patterned shirt, and a light-coloured tweed jacket. He stands in front of a large ornate mirror inside a cluttered tailoring shop or retail store, holding up a pair of dark trousers against himself to check the fit. To his left, high stacks of folded trousers and garments fill shelves, creating a textured and narrow background framing the subject. The lighting is bright and natural, illuminating the interior space and reflecting the man's expression in the mirror glass. The composition focuses on the intimate, candid moment of garment selection within a densely packed workshop environment.
