Tarek Mawad, Photographer, London

Description

This monochrome photographic portrait features a black man in profile, captured with a distinct motion blur effect that creates streaks of light and shadow across his form. He wears wrap-around sunglasses and a small hoop earring in his ear, along with a patterned necklace and dark textured clothing. The high-contrast black and white treatment accentuates the graphic nature of the streaks radiating from his head and neckline. The plain light background keeps the focus entirely on the subject and the experimental capture technique. Photographed in London by Tarek Mawad.
