Koury Angelo, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

This striking monochrome portrait by photographer Koury Angelo captures a man seated in an industrial doorway in Los Angeles. The subject is wearing a patterned short-sleeve shirt over a tank top and light trousers, with a cigarette in his mouth and his hand resting on his head. Shot in harsh direct light, the high-contrast black and white styling accentuates the textured concrete frame and graffiti overhead.
