Nana Yaw Oduro, Photographer, Paris

Description

An editorial photograph by Nana Yaw Oduro captured in Paris features a lone black man bent forward at the waist while standing in shallow, turbid yellow water. He wears a black t-shirt with a small white cross emblem on the sleeve, black trousers, and a black belt. In his outstretched hand, he holds a small black handgun pointed away from his body. The composition focuses on the dark silhouette of the figure contrasted against the bright, textured surface of the water, illuminated by natural light.
