Erik Carter, Photographer, New York

Description

This portrait photograph by Erik Carter features a Black man playing a long wooden flute amidst lush tropical foliage. He wears striped overall dungarees, a patterned long-sleeve shirt, a bright red knit cap, and thick chunky translucent eyewear with light blue eyeshadow framing his eyes. A smaller inset image in the bottom left corner displays a similar scene with darker tones and a distinct wooden instrument. The composition is framed with film perforations along the right edge, adding a tactile analogue texture. Natural lighting illuminates the scene, highlighting the rich textures of his clothing and the surrounding greenery.
