Description

This striking black and white portrait by photographer Ruven Afanador captures a subject in New York with long braided hair and shaved sides. The individual wears hoop earrings and features dramatic dark eye makeup, looking directly toward the camera with a neutral expression. Draped fabric rests over one shoulder, creating soft sculptural folds across the chest. The lighting is directional and moody, emphasizing the high-contrast tones of the monochrome composition against a neutral background.
