Mei Tao, New York

Description

This striking portrait captures a Black man with tall, elaborate dreadlocks styled upwards, captured in New York by photographer Mei Tao. He wears a light blue fuzzy textured sweater layered with delicate silver necklaces and a pendant. One lock falls across his forehead, and he gazes directly into the camera with a neutral expression. The background is a clean, minimal white sweep that emphasizes the sculptural silhouette of his hair and the vibrant texture of his knitwear. The lighting is bright and even, highlighting the rich skin tones and intricate details of his accessories.
