Rahim Fortune, Photographer, New York

Description

This black-and-white portrait photograph by Rahim Fortune features a shirtless young black man outdoors, surrounded by tall overgrown grasses and foliage. The subject has braided hair, a serious downward gaze, and multiple distinctive tattoos visible across his chest, torso, and arms. He wears light-coloured denim jeans and leans against a weathered metal fence. The image has a grainy, documentary aesthetic with natural lighting and high-contrast monochrome grading. Bold serif typography overlays the composition on both sides, detailing an artist talk and book signing event for Hardtack in conversation with Nicole Fleetwood at ICP New York.
