About

This portrait captures a man with long dreadlocks wearing round sunglasses, bathed in a heavy monochromatic red illumination. Smoke drifts gently through the air above his head, partially catching the dramatic lighting. He wears a reflective collared garment and layered chain necklaces, with his hands clasped together near the lower frame. The composition employs low-key lighting to cast deep shadows across his face and neck, creating a moody and atmospheric aesthetic. Photographed in Los Angeles by Mason Poole.
