About

This black-and-white studio portrait features actor Daniel Dae Kim with short, dark curly hair and a direct, serious expression. He is positioned with his arms crossed and his chin resting on his forearms, wearing a simple textured t-shirt. The lighting is soft and directional, accentuating facial features and creating subtle tonal gradients across the skin and fabric. Captured against a clean, neutral backdrop, the composition focuses closely on the subject with an intimate, contemplative register. The image was photographed and art directed by Chad Griffith in Los Angeles.
