James Minchin, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

This portrait composition features a split-screen layout highlighting an older Black man wearing a fitted cap. The left side presents the subject in color, wearing a red shirt, with distinct facial features and a calm expression. The right side shows the same subject in monochrome, captured from a lower angle with his mouth open in an expressive pose. Both panels share a stark, dark background that accentuates the textured lighting on the subject's face. The contrasting color and black-and-white perspectives create a dynamic visual study.
