Description

Monochrome portrait of entertainer Skepta for the prototype_ Issue 0 2026 project. The subject is captured in a close-up shot leaning against a vertical handrail inside a public transit vehicle, holding up a diamond-encrusted fork and knife pendant necklace. He wears a dark durag and a black sleeveless top, with high-contrast lighting highlighting facial features and textured details. The composition is vertical and styled with documentary precision, showcasing sharp focus on jewelry and apparel textures.
