Jeff Forney, Photographer, New York

Description

This portrait photograph by Jeff Forney captures a Black man in a three-quarter profile against a dark, undifferentiated background. He wears dark sunglasses with reflective lenses, a black baseball cap, and layered chain necklaces, with his tongue slightly protruding in a playful expression. The lighting is low-key and dramatic, accentuating the contours of his face while casting the lower portions and clothing into deep shadow. The composition is tightly cropped, focusing entirely on the subject's expression and accessories.
