David Boni, Photographer, London

Description

This close-up portrait, photographed by David Boni in London, focuses on the face of a young man with dark curly hair. His skin is heavily covered in freckles, and a distinct linear scar with visible stitches runs diagonally down his right cheek. Overlay graphics on the image include thin white guide lines and text reading Youth services spending cut by 1.1 billion. Additional text at the bottom includes Underfunding leads to knife crime, along with a logo for Fighting Knife Crime. The lighting is directional and dramatic, creating soft shadows across the contours of his face against a dark, neutral background.
