To Be Magazine Sampha 2024

Description

This monochrome portrait features a Black man with textured dreadlocks, photographed in dramatic high-contrast lighting. He wears a dark, patterned coat with a high structured collar, pulling the fabric up to obscure the lower half of his face while peering directly forward. The image grain and stark tonal range emphasize the tactile quality of the heavy fabric and hair texture against a neutral background. Photographed by Hector Clark for To Be Magazine as part of the Sampha project.
