Erik Carter, Photographer, New York

Description

This portrait photograph by Erik Carter features multiple people in formal attire posed against dark, textured backgrounds. On the left, a Black woman wearing a structured dark burgundy and sequined top raises her hand with a poised expression. On the right, a group of men in tuxedos and suits stand closely together, looking toward the camera. An inset portrait in the lower center shows a person wearing distinctive glasses and a pearl necklace. The lighting is low-key and dramatic, accentuating the rich textures of the clothing and the dark tonal background.
