Description

A young African-American boy is standing and smiling directly at the camera in front of an orange backdrop. He wears a navy blue hooded zip-up jacket, open to reveal a light blue t-shirt with a vertical tie-dye effect down the center. He also wears blue denim jeans and a black baseball cap. The lighting is diffused and even, highlighting the textures of the denim and the soft fabric of the shirt and jacket. The boy's expression is cheerful. The overall composition is clean and straightforward, focusing attention on the subject and his clothing.
