Mei Tao, New York

Description

This striking portrait captured by photographer Mei Tao features a Black man with intricate dreadlocks styled upwards, looking directly at the camera with a steady expression. He wears a vibrant, multi-coloured striped knit zip-up cardigan layered over a black mesh sheer top that reveals his torso. Dark trousers feature a colourful butterfly embroidered patch near the hip. He is accessorised with layered metallic chains around his neck and a cuff bracelet on his wrist. The lighting is moody and low-key, casting soft highlights against a dark, shadowy background.
