Description
This striking black and white portrait photograph by Michael Avedon captures a Black man in his 30s laughing heartily with a wide-open smile. He has short, textured hair that creates a halo effect against the plain white backdrop. The subject wears a collared shirt with prominent horizontal stripes. High-contrast monochrome lighting accentuates the deep shadows and bright highlights across his face and clothing.
