Toby Burrows, Photographer, Sydney

Description

Captured by photographer Toby Burrows in Sydney, this striking monochrome image features a young Black man seated outdoors. He wears a dark long-sleeve sweatshirt and trousers, posing with one hand near his chin in a thoughtful expression. The scene is defined by high-contrast hard lighting, casting dramatic angular shadows across his face and the heavily textured background wall behind him. The monochromatic color grading emphasizes the stark interplay of light and shadow throughout the composition.
