Gary Copeland, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

A young man with long braided hair stands smiling in front of a closed storefront and an arcade fortune teller machine. He wears a plaid button-down shirt and light-colored trousers, positioned on a black-and-white checkered floor. To his left, an animatronic fortune teller figure dressed in ornate yellow and blue traditional garb looms over a glass enclosure containing a glowing crystal ball. The lighting suggests an interior arcade or nighttime street setting with warm directional illumination. The shot is captured from a slightly elevated vertical perspective by photographer Gary Copeland in Los Angeles.
