Devin Yalkin, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking monochrome portrait features a black man wearing clear-framed glasses and a collared shirt, captured by photographer Devin Yalkin in New York. The subject peers directly at the camera with an intense expression, positioned behind a hanging screen of circular reflective discs that create natural framing and bokeh foreground elements. The high-contrast black and white grading emphasizes the textures of his beard, hair, and clothing while playing with light reflections across the suspended disks.
