Rankin, Photographer, New York

Description

This editorial portrait by photographer Rankin features a Black man with a beard and closed eyes against a solid deep blue studio backdrop. He wears a cream-colored high-collar sweatshirt and matching trousers, embellished with detailed botanical embroidery and cursive script lettering depicting floral illustrations. In his right hand, he holds a single white flower with a long stem upright against his lower torso. The lighting is soft and directional, casting gentle shadows that accentuate the texture of the fabric and the contours of his face. The HUNGER magazine logo is visible in the top left corner of the frame.
