Erik Carter, Photographer, New York

Description

This portrait photograph by Erik Carter captures a black man in his 30s with textured dreadlocks and blonde-tipped ends, looking directly at the camera with a serious expression. He has his hand raised to his face, displaying multiple ornate silver rings on his fingers and a chunky silver bracelet on his wrist. A heavy silver chain necklace rests against his grey shirt. The lighting is moody and directional, creating soft highlights across his face and hands against a dark, mottled background with visible film borders.
