Micaiah Carter, Photographer, New York

Description

A promotional image for 'The 1619 Project' features a young Black boy, positioned in the lower center of the frame, draped in an American flag. He gazes directly at the viewer with a solemn expression. The background is a hazy, light-yellowish sky, with a few trees visible on the sides and at the bottom. Above the boy, the text reads 'FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES hulu The 1619 Project The greatest story never told'. The overall lighting gives the image a soft, diffused quality, with no harsh shadows. The photograph is a medium shot, focusing on the boy's face and upper body.
