Sune Czajkowski, Photographer, London

Description

This striking portrait in monochrome captures a young Black man in profile against a plain grey background. He wears a textured silver hoop earring in his ear lobe, a thin silver chain necklace, and a fine scattering of silver glitter highlights along his cheekbone near his eye. His hair is styled in short locs or twists framing the crown of his head. The dramatic side lighting emphasizes the sharp contours of his jawline, nose, and lips, creating deep shadows and clear tonal separation. Shot by photographer Sune Czajkowski in London, the image utilizes a moody black and white palette to highlight tactile surface textures and form.
