Myles Loftin, Photographer, New York

About

This portrait photograph by Myles Loftin captures a young Black man looking downward with a pensive expression. His textured afro and faded haircut are creatively accessorized with four colourful plastic tail combs—blue, red, purple, and pink—tucked neatly into the hair. He wears a white ribbed tank top and a thin silver chain necklace around his neck. The lighting is soft and natural, highlighting the warm tones of his skin and the intricate detail of his braided and natural hair textures. The background is a plain, light-toned wall, keeping the focus entirely on the subject and his unique styling.
