Jean Baptiste Mondino, Photographer, Paris

Description

A striking portrait of a Black man photographed by Jean Baptiste Mondino against a dark, solid black background. The subject wears a black hooded sweatshirt paired with a fitted blue vest and two gold zigzag bracelets on his right arm. His right hand is raised with fingers pointing upward, while his left hand rests against his chest. Both hands feature dark manicured fingernails and visible tattoos on the forearm and wrist. The dramatic low-key lighting highlights the contours of his face, stubble, and clothing textures.
