Cole Barash, Photographer, New York

About

This black and white portrait by photographer Cole Barash features a black man in profile as he performs a weighted lift with a barbell. He wears a dark sleeveless top and a smartwatch on his wrist, with his dreadlocks styled upward. Overlaid on the image is crisp white text reading TEMPO, Sync with your strength, and the date 06.27.2023. The lighting is directional, casting gentle highlights across his back and arms while keeping the background softly out of focus.
