Paul Hempstead, Photographer, New York

Description

A seated portrait captures a young black man with short dark hair looking upward and away from the camera, his hand resting near his head. He wears a dark grey wool button-up overshirt layered over a dark sweater. The lighting is soft and directional, coming from a window on the right side of the frame, casting gentle highlights across his face and shoulder. The background is a warmly lit indoor domestic space with soft-focus furniture and framed artwork. The composition uses a vertical framing with a shallow depth of field, emphasizing the subject against the muted interior. The image was photographed in New York by Paul Hempstead.
