Matthew Priestley, Photographer, New York

Description

This portrait photograph by Matthew Priestley captures a Black man and a woman with dark dreadlocks posing together in close proximity. The man has his eyes closed while the woman rests her head gently against his shoulder, looking directly forward toward the camera with a calm expression. Both subjects are dressed in casual t-shirts, with the man wearing a muted blue-green top and the woman wearing an olive green top. The lighting is soft and natural, casting gentle shadows across their faces. They are positioned against a plain, light-coloured fabric background that shows subtle folds and texture.
