Rémi Lamandé, Photographer, New York

Description

This striking portrait photograph by Rémi Lamandé features a black man with locs posed against a brilliant white background. His hair fans out dynamically behind his head in individual strands. He is wearing a dark collared shirt, and the dramatic backlighting casts deep shadows across much of his face while highlighting his right eye and cheekbone. The high-contrast lighting creates a sculptural silhouette effect, accentuating the texture of his locs and the clean composition.
