Michael Kunde, Photographer, New York

Description

This black-and-white portrait photograph by Michael Kunde captures a young man from behind as he stands atop rocky ground. He wears a dark short-sleeved t-shirt with graphic typography on the back, paired with light-coloured cargo shorts, white crew socks, and sneakers. The subject looks over his shoulder towards the left side of the frame while adjusting his shirt hem. In the background, a heavily textured concrete wall displays layered spray paint and graffiti tag marks. The harsh direct lighting style casts sharp highlights and shadows across the scene, lending a raw, urban character to the composition.
