About

This striking monochrome studio portrait features a shirtless Black man posing with his hands on his hips. He wears distinctive cat-eye patterned sunglasses and a white t-shirt draped loosely open around his shoulders. The high-contrast black-and-white grading emphasizes his physique and the clean lines of the composition. Shot by photographer Phil Poynter, the image is set against a plain seamless background.
