Black man reaching toward the camera with hands dramatically exaggerated in a high-angle view

Jacob Sutton, New York

About

This striking black and white portrait captured by photographer Jacob Sutton in New York features a man viewed from a high angle as he reaches both hands directly toward the camera. The extreme perspective creates a powerful foreshortening effect, making his outstretched hands appear massive in the foreground while his face remains visible behind them. The subject wears a dark short-sleeved top against a clean, bright white background. High-contrast lighting accentuates the textures of his skin and the sculptural forms of his fingers.
