Paul Mobley, Photographer, Los Angeles

About

This striking monochrome portrait by photographer Paul Mobley features a man centred in the frame against a dark, seamless background. The subject wears a wide-brimmed hat with his long hair styled in twin braids falling past his shoulders. He wears a patterned button-down shirt and his hands are clasped loosely in front of him. Intricate geometric neck tattoos and hand tattoos are clearly visible. The lighting is focused and dramatic, creating high contrast and emphasizing textures in the clothing, skin, and hair.
