Ekua King, Photographer, London

Description

This striking portrait photograph by London-based photographer Ekua King features a black man holding a brightly burning sparkler directly in front of him. He wears a dark, patterned button-down shirt with a textured, crinkled fabric finish. The subject is framed tightly against a deep blue, textured night sky background that provides a cool contrast to the warm, glowing sparks. The composition is vertical and intimate, capturing a candid, reflective expression on the subject's face as the sparkler illuminates the surrounding darkness.
