Mei Tao, Photographer, New York

Description

This portrait features a young Black man with intricately braided hair pulled up into a top knot, captured against a clean, neutral background. He wears a textured grey knit sweater embellished with scattered white pearls across the collar and shoulders. His hand is raised near his face, resting on his lower lip with a pearl-adorned fingernail, displaying gold and silver rings on his fingers. Subtle facial tattoos are visible near his eye and cheek, complementing his direct, serious gaze into the camera. The lighting is soft and even, highlighting the tactile textures of the pearl sweater and the sharp details of the styling.
