Osborne Macharia, Photographer, New York

About

This conceptual portrait photograph by Osborne Macharia features three Black men arranged in a striking composition against a neutral grey background. In the center, a man wearing a white utility jacket, white gloves, and a textured white scarf holds a small drum, gazing directly forward with a serious expression. Flanking him on either side are two men in profile facing inward, each wearing a curved metallic visor across their eyes. The image employs a distinct chromatic aberration or stereo effect, giving the outlines a subtle red and cyan shift. Soft, even lighting highlights the sculptural textures of the clothing and the polished metallic accessories.
