About

This striking black and white portrait features a Black man with a textured afro hairstyle, seated with his hands on his hips and a direct gaze toward the camera. He wears a buttoned jacket over a dark shirt, a belt with a prominent buckle, and dark trousers. The composition is framed within visible film borders featuring Kodak 400TX edge markings on the right side. The lighting is clean and directional, casting subtle shadows that define the subject's features against a plain white studio background. Photographed in London by Jack Johnstone, the image adopts a classic editorial aesthetic with rich grain and high-contrast monochrome tones.
