Mario Sorrenti, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking black-and-white portrait features a Black man in his 20s or 30s gazing directly at the camera with a serious expression. He is dressed in a dark leather jacket with a high collar layered over a ribbed turtleneck sweater. The lighting is directional and dramatic, carving out the sharp contours of his face and highlighting the rich texture of the leather. The composition is a tightly framed head-and-shoulders shot against a neutral studio backdrop. Photographed by Mario Sorrenti in New York.
