Description
A monochromatic portrait shows a shirtless young African American man holding a basketball in his left hand. Water droplets glisten on his chest and shoulders. The image is a close-up, emphasizing the subject's intense gaze and musculature. Other, blurry figures stand in the background, de-focused against a light backdrop, creating depth and emphasizing the primary subject. The style of the photography is dramatic and athletic. The lighting enhances the contrast and texture of the skin and basketball.
