Ture Lillegraven, Photographer, New York

Description

This monochrome photographic portrait features a shirtless Black man wearing patterned athletic shorts with an adjustable drawstring waistband. A thin chain necklace rests around his neck, while a pair of athletic sneakers hang down against his chest suspended by their laces looped around his neck. The lighting creates stark contrasts across his torso and features against a solid dark background. The composition focuses tightly on the upper body and the sneakers held prominently as the central visual element.
