Clayton Cotterell, Photographer, Portland

Description

This intimate close-up portrait, captured by photographer Clayton Cotterell, features a Black man holding a cluster of pale pink flowers gently in his mouth. A delicate dappled shadow pattern of leaves falls across the upper half of his face and forehead. He wears a small gold hoop earring in his right ear, a white t-shirt, and a dark jacket. The background consists of a warm, terracotta-toned wall catching direct sunlight. The lighting is bright and direct, casting sharp, defined shadow edges across the subject.
