Micaiah Carter, Photographer, New York

About

This monochrome studio portrait by photographer Micaiah Carter features a young Black man looking downward with a pensive expression. He wears a light-coloured, button-down shirt with a soft collar. His hair is styled into distinctive, freeform dreadlocks that stand upward and outward. The lighting is subtle and even, creating gentle gradations across the subject and the neutral grey backdrop. The overall composition is intimate and focused entirely on the subject.
