Justin Bettman, Photographer, New York

Description

A bald Black man in his 30s is seated behind the counter of a convenience store, holding a pair of glasses in one hand while reading an open newspaper spread across the wooden checkout counter. He wears a dark jacket over a white t-shirt and looks directly forward with a serious expression. The surrounding shelves and pegboards are densely stocked with packaged snacks, household items, and hanging merchandise, while bunches of bananas, pastries in plastic containers, and stacked tubs of food sit on the counter surface. The photograph is shot in New York by photographer Justin Bettman, capturing an interior retail environment with warm ambient lighting and a cluttered, authentic mercantile backdrop.
