Thomas Chadwick, Photographer, Chicago

About

This striking portrait captured by photographer Thomas Chadwick in Chicago features a black man mid-air in a dynamic jumping pose against a completely dark nighttime backdrop. The subject wears a striped long-sleeve sweater, a baseball cap, and patterned corduroy trousers, with his arms outstretched and one knee raised. The lighting sharply illuminates the subject from the side, creating strong contrast against the deep black background. The ground is dimly visible at the bottom of the frame with a textured surface reflecting ambient light. The composition emphasizes raw motion and athleticism in a minimalist nocturnal setting.
