Ramona Rosales, Photographer, New York

Description

An eye-level portrait captures a young, African-American man wearing a maroon collared shirt with rolled-up sleeves. His gaze is directed off-camera towards the right. He has short, dark hair. In the background, a modern building with a glass facade featuring a grid pattern dominates the upper half of the frame. The color of the glass reflects the clear, light-blue sky above. The photograph has a warm color grade, with the lighting suggesting late afternoon or early morning. The architectural lines of the building contrast with the soft features of the man. The image's composition places the subject slightly off-center, allowing the building to act as a strong secondary element.
