Black man seen from behind wearing a varsity jacket with love hate text standing against a textured wall

Mark Clennon, Photographer, Los Angeles

About

This monochrome portrait photograph by Mark Clennon depicts a black man seen from behind standing against a textured concrete wall outdoors. He wears a dark varsity jacket featuring white lettering and graphics on the back, light-colored patterned jeans, and dark sneakers. His distinctive braided or locked hair radiates outward in a starburst pattern. Harsh sunlight casts a dramatic silhouette and shadow of his figure and hairstyle onto the ground and wall to the left. The composition is shot vertically in a stark documentary style with high contrast and grain.
