Ruven Afanador, Photographer, New York

Description

This black and white editorial portrait features actor Will Smith seated centrally on a low rectangular block against a neutral studio backdrop. He is dressed in a dark long-sleeved textured top, trousers, and polished black boots, wearing a watch on his left wrist. His arms are crossed tightly over his chest with hands resting on opposite shoulders, and he looks directly toward the camera with a subtle, composed expression. Yellow magazine masthead and feature text overlay the top and bottom of the frame. The lighting creates soft tonal gradations across his clothing and the surrounding surfaces.
