G L Askew Ii, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

A Black man in his 30s with a neat beard, short curly hair, and dark sunglasses is seated while holding a polished gold saxophone. He wears a light cream-colored bomber jacket over a black shirt, with subtle tattoos visible on his neck and hand. The subject is posed against a warm, crinkled terracotta fabric backdrop that creates soft vertical folds. The lighting is natural and warm, casting gentle highlights on the metallic instrument and the subject's face. This striking portrait was captured by photographer G L Askew Ii in Los Angeles.
