Michael Mundy, Photographer, New York

Description

A bald Black man in his 40s is seated at a wooden school desk with his hands clasped over his face in a gesture of contemplation or distress. He wears a long-sleeved blue button-down shirt and dark trousers. A thick book rests on the desk in front of him. The subject is positioned against a textured deep blue wall with visible brush marks or weathering, and a window with light filtering through is visible on the left edge. The lighting creates strong highlights on the shirt and the side of his head, with deep shadows defining the moody atmosphere. Captured by photographer Michael Mundy in New York.
