Description
A striking black and white studio portrait of professional basketball player Jalen Brunson for New York Magazine's feature, Jalen Brunson's Victory Lap, photographed by Mark Seliger. Brunson stands facing the camera with a composed, direct gaze, wearing a dark sleeveless athletic shirt with braided hair falling around his face. Dramatic side lighting sculpts his facial features and muscular physique against a subtly textured grey studio backdrop. He holds a basketball partially visible at the bottom of the vertical frame.
