Tommy Kha, Photographer, New York

Description

This portrait captures an indigenous woodcarver standing inside a workshop, leaning his hand on a large, intricately carved wooden totem pole. He is dressed in a wide-brimmed black hat, a red-and-black varsity jacket with detailed embroidery, grey denim jeans, and patterned footwear. The workshop setting in the background features various tools, work tables, and storage racks, illuminated by bright ambient light. The composition places the subject vertically in the center of the frame, combining environmental portraiture with a documentary feel.
