Description

A Black male dancer strikes a pose against a graduated blue background. He is shirtless, revealing his abdominal muscles, and wears glittering gold wide-legged pants. He also wears an unbuttoned black jacket with a colorful floral pattern on the lapels and sleeves. The dancer has his arms raised and fingers splayed as if in mid-movement. The lighting is even, with a slight spotlight effect on the subject. The camera captures the subject at eye level, showing the full figure from the feet up, in a portrait orientation.
