About

This striking monochrome portrait features a Black man with braided hair styled in a top knot, wearing a textured dark puffer jacket over a black t-shirt. His arms are outstretched to the sides, creating a dynamic silhouette against a backdrop of heavy, pleated fabric drapes. A thick, layered chain necklace gleams around his neck, adding a contrasting texture to the dark outerwear. The lighting is dramatic and moody, casting deep shadows across the subject's face while highlighting the contours of his jacket and the surrounding fabric. This piece was captured by photographer and director Kendall Bessent in Los Angeles.
