Sandro, Photographer, Chicago

Description

This striking black and white portrait features an older black man seated and looking directly toward the camera with a calm expression. He wears a dark leather cowboy hat with decorative metallic accents, a textured long-sleeve graphic t-shirt, and fingerless gloves. His hands are clasped together in the foreground, displaying a prominent metallic wristwatch and bracelet. The background consists of an American flag draped vertically, rendered in dramatic tones that emphasize the stars and stripes. The lighting is moody and directional, casting deep shadows and highlighting the textures of his clothing, accessories, and expression. This powerful studio piece was captured by photographer Sandro in Chicago.
