Joshua Kissi, Photographer, New York

Description

This outdoor portrait features two Black men posing on a New York city street against a backdrop of storefront security gates covered in graffiti. On the left, a man stands with arms crossed, wearing a bright yellow graphic sweatshirt, layered collared shirt, baggy khaki trousers, and a dark bucket hat. On the right, a second man stands inside a street telephone booth, wearing a yellow-and-black patterned beanie, dark jacket, blue pants, and colourful footwear while speaking on the telephone. Direct sunlight casts sharp, angled shadows across the concrete pavement in the foreground. The composition is captured with natural lighting and an authentic street documentary feel.
