Erik Tanner, New York

Description

A full-length portrait features a Black man standing centrally with hands in his pockets, set against a heavily textured, pale painted backdrop. He wears a light-colored utility jacket layered over a dark ensemble with shorts and tall boots. The lighting is soft and directional, highlighting the subject while blending the edges into the painterly background. The composition has an editorial feel, combining clear photographic subject matter with tactile, artistic surface details. The overall monochrome palette creates a moody and grounded visual atmosphere.
