About

This portrait by photographer Paul Schefz features an athletic black man in his 20s standing against a neutral concrete wall. He is wearing a dark grey sleeveless top and black shorts, with his face partially covered as he lifts the shirt to his nose. The lighting is soft and directional, highlighting the musculature and physical exertion evident from sweat on his skin and clothing. The composition is a vertical crop focusing on the upper body and torso, with a desaturated, muted color grading.
