Donavon Smallwood, Photographer, New York

Description

This monochrome portrait features a Black man in his 20s captured in a half-body shot by photographer Donavon Smallwood. He is wearing a dark baseball cap emblazoned with a New York Yankees logo, distinctive round eyeglasses with thin metal frames, and a plain white v-neck t-shirt. Layered silver necklaces including a crucifix pendant hang delicately around his neck. The lighting is soft and directional, casting gentle shadows that define his facial features against a neutral, plain background. The composition employs a vertical framing style with magazine typography reading CULTURED at the top left and 2024 Young Photographers List at the bottom.
