Description

This editorial portrait from the New York New Wave project features a young black man wearing a gold crown angled on his head and a dark black short-sleeved top with a padded collar. He stands against a clean, unbroken white studio backdrop with a serious expression. The lighting is soft and even, highlighting the textures of his clothing and the metallic sheen of the crown. The composition is a vertical crop focusing on the upper body, styled by Lana Jay Lackey and captured by photographer Ricardo Gomes.
