This striking monochrome portrait features a young man wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt and smoking a cigarette.

The close-up composition creates an intense and direct mood, focusing entirely on the subject. Photographed by Juan Algarin in New York, the image employs high-contrast tonal styling to emphasize texture and shadow.
