Emman Montalvan, Photographer, New York

Description

This black and white portrait features a young man with a prominent afro hairstyle and a mustache, seated at a booth table indoors. He wears a textured polo shirt and rests one hand near his face while gazing directly toward the camera. On the table in front of him rests a white ceramic cup filled with a cappuccino or coffee topped with cocoa powder, alongside an open notebook or sketchbook. The lighting is soft and natural, casting gentle shadows across the scene and emphasizing the rich textures of his hair and clothing. The composition is captured in a vertical format with a shallow depth of field that softly blurs the background booth seating.
