About

This vertical portrait features a shirtless Black male athlete dressed in traditional white fencing breeches with attached suspenders, white knee-high socks, a fencing glove on one hand, and athletic shoes. He holds a fencing foil horizontally across his body while looking towards the left side of the frame. He stands outdoors on a weathered concrete surface against a dark, distressed green textured wall. The lighting is crisp and natural, highlighting his physique and the textures of the background. The composition is centred and full-length, captured by photographer Katinka Herbert in London.
