Close-up portrait of a sweating Black man with water droplets running down his face captured by Emily Maye

Emily Maye, Photographer, New York

About

This close-up portrait captures the side profile and face of a Black man heavily covered in sweat and water droplets that trace visibly down his skin. The lighting highlights the glistening texture on his forehead, cheek, and neck, creating high-contrast reflections across his features. His expression is serious and intense, looking slightly off-camera. Captured by photographer Emily Maye, the tight framing emphasizes the raw tactile qualities of moisture on skin.
