Mark Seliger, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking monochrome portrait by photographer Mark Seliger captures a shirtless black man with extensive shoulder and arm tattoos, a septum piercing, and dermal chest piercings. He wears dark jeans with a belt and is adorned with stacked beaded bracelets and rings on his hands. The subject leans against a weathered brick and graffiti-covered wall, looking off to the side with a serious expression. The lighting creates high-contrast shadows across his muscular physique, emphasizing texture and form in a raw urban setting.
