Tim Swallow, Photographer, Sydney

About

This monochrome portrait photograph by Tim Swallow features a Black man in his 40s wearing a knit beanie and dark long-sleeved shirt. He is shown in profile from the waist up, leaning his forearms on a concrete ledge with a thoughtful expression. The background consists of dense foliage with bokeh effects, creating a natural, outdoor setting. The image is presented with visible film borders showing Kodak Portra 400 markings at the top and frame number 8 at the bottom, conveying an authentic analog grain texture and high-contrast black-and-white tonal grading.
