Matt Hawthorne, Photographer, New York

Description

This vertical portrait features two models captured close-up by photographer Matt Hawthorne in New York. On the left, a Black man in his 20s with braided hair and a patterned vest looks directly at the camera with a calm expression. Beside him, a woman in her 20s with blonde hair styled in two long braids wears a dark collared shirt and features distinct eye makeup. The natural lighting highlights their features against an indistinct architectural background. The composition is tight and intimate, creating a striking focal point on the two subjects.
