Description

This portrait photograph by Chris Noltekuhlmann captures the profile of a Black man floating serenely on his back in dark water.

The intimate framing focuses closely on his wet skin and calm expression, creating a quiet and contemplative mood. The composition emphasizes organic textures and fluid movement, with subdued tones grading the water and subject.
