Nicholas Maggio, Photographer, Los Angeles

Description

A sunlit outdoor portrait captured by photographer Nicholas Maggio in Los Angeles. In the foreground, a Black man smiles broadly while wearing a bright red varsity-style jacket over a white tank top and light blue patterned jeans, his arms outstretched. Behind him, a vintage yellow and brown customized van sits on sandy ground. Several other people are visible inside and leaning out of the open side door and passenger window of the van, adding a candid, relaxed energy to the scene. The lighting is bright and warm, casting distinct shadows on the ground under a clear sky.
