Karim Sadli, New York

Description

This striking black and white portrait captures a young, shirtless male model posing against a neutral studio background in New York. Photographed by Karim Sadli, the composition features dramatic directional lighting that casts a sharp, silhouetted shadow on the wall behind the subject. The model has a buzz cut, is captured in profile, and delicately holds a tiny bird perched on his raised finger. His left hand is raised while his right arm is tucked behind his back, emphasizing his lean physique. The monochromatic aesthetic highlights subtle skin textures, shadows, and the gentle interaction between human and animal.
