Murray Hall, Photographer, New York

Description

A portrait captures a smiling Black man in his 50s working as a chef, wearing a dark blue shirt and a matching blue apron with thin leather straps. He wears round tortoiseshell eyeglasses and looks away from the camera with a warm expression. His hands are clasped behind his back. The background features a horizontal gradient shifting from pink to white above a neutral grey divider panel, with a table and glass visible in the lower foreground.
