Description

This black-and-white portrait features a Black man in his 30s wearing a tailored grey suit, crisp white shirt, dark tie, and thick black frame glasses. He is posed against a plain white seamless background with his hands raised in a gesture, captured mid-expression. The image was photographed by Norman Jean Roy with fashion styling by Edward Bowleg III, hair by Edward Lampley, makeup by Kuma, and tailoring by Jacqui Bennett for the American Vogue project Inside Man. The high-contrast studio lighting accentuates the sharp lines of the suiting and the distinct textures of the fabric.
