Kris Ryan, Photographer, Los Angeles

About

This black and white photographic portrait by Kris Ryan captures a middle-aged Black man in three-quarter profile looking upward and away from the camera. He features a prominent, well-groomed salt and pepper beard and short textured hair. He is wearing a dark, high-collared jacket with a visible metal snap button on the placket. The lighting creates gentle contrast across his facial features against a plain, light-toned background. The composition emphasizes a contemplative, candid expression.
