Mark Seliger, Photographer, New York

Description

A striking portrait photograph by Mark Seliger features a Black man captured in profile with his eyes closed and head tilted back. He wears a dark, heavily sequined jacket that catches the light across his shoulders and arms. Both hands are raised and open toward the sky, adorned with several rings on the fingers. The subject is posed against a raw, textured concrete architectural interior featuring geometric angles and muted gray tones. The lighting is moody and dramatic, emphasizing the reflective textures of the sequins and the raw surface of the surrounding walls.
